Try the National Sweet Pea society.

I think I once had some seed from this chap, years ago - might be worth a try?

thankyou all so much for your advice,am on to it now,will let you know the outcome.hopefully a successfull one.
the pea themselves are predominantly white but with a pinkish tinge or hue.
will keep you posted

hi yorkie have spent an hour or so trying to track down mr grayson,unfortunately the number rings off as unrecognisable and have search the directories.i think he may have moved...
i will keep trying,but thankyou anyway

hi chrissie,
i havent had any (as yet) when sadly my dog passed,i rang the rhs and they said there was a type called 'hazel tasker' but they couldnt tell me where to purchase it.i searched online and sure enough i have found it on a couple of lists.but not on a sale site that i can buy from.

Why not contact the two sites and ask them for some seeds, giving your special reason for doing so? They can only say no.

[chrissie B]

that might work , ive looked myself didn't realise how many types there were , would be great just to have them in your garden the smell would be wonderful , next door to me has a load of smelly dogs and puppies might cancel out their smell ha ha
