FLORENCECOURT **  AGM 1999; AM and Harriss Award 1999; CoM 1998; Bronze Award for Decoration 2001. Florencecourt has a big white eye, great texture and consistently good placement, without losing the impact of its gorgeous salmon-cerise colour. (Colour group 3).

GLASNEVIN  ***  FCC 2004; Preliminary Commendation (PC) 2005. Glasnevin is a full exhibition quality white sweet pea, having long stems in fine proportion with a well-placed head, hardly ever malformed. (Colour group 1).

HEAVEN SCENT  ***  FCC 2004. Cited as “a light pink and cream with a rich perfume”, we find its gentle scent is the sweetest of any sweet pea, and the plant challenges Castlewellan for vigour.  (Colour group 11).

KAREN HARROD ****  Harris Prize, PC & FCC 2005 Entrancing luminous mid-blue, Irish grown rogue-free seed.

LAUREN LANDY ***  CoM 2007; PC 2007, RFA 2007 & 2010

A delightful warm rose-pink pea you can rely upon to producing elegant classically-proportioned flowers well placed on good stems – “They look you straight in the eye”. Entire proceeds go to the Bone Cancer Research Trust. (Colour group 10a).

LEN HARROD *** FCC 2005

Coming from a different cross, yet reminiscent of Florencecourt, Len Harrod has a broader standard petal and a white eye that is, if anything, larger than Florencecourt’s.  The strong pink seems to have more orange in it.  (Likely colour group 13 , Orange Pink).

MARK HARROD  *  CoM 2006

Bold as brass, strong as its keep-fit namesake, and bright as a guardsman’s tunic, Mark Harrod is the best shape in scarlet today, thanks to its inheritance from Mrs Bernard Jones. (Colour group 3a).

MOUNT STEWART ** Bronze Award for Exhibition 2001

A very rich mauve colour  - described by Unwins as “deep glowing purple” - and great vigour make this a good big pea for any garden. Good placement and texture are characteristic. (Introduced as Wisley by Unwins Seeds, 2004) (Colour group 7).

POCAHONTAS ***  AGM 1996 & 2006

A bright geranium red colour, one of our favourites when growing under glass for cut flower, but revels in full sunshine too. Has more scent than is usual in this colour, and makes a very attractive sight.  (Colour group 3).

RENOWN ** CoM 2009 The true Crimson Sweet Pea, with good texture that doesn’t show big spots when sun has followed  shower, Renown likes to produce fives early in the season.  (Colour  group sure to be 3b).

ROUBEENA * Ruby red, a mass of smallish but shapely flowers on a branchy plant. (Colour group 3b).

ROWALLANE  ***  AGM 2001; Silver Award for Decoration 2001.

The glowing salmon pink in Rowallane is a little softer than in Valerie Harrod: a branchy plant that keeps on flowering. (Introduced as Jewel by Unwins Seeds, 2005) (Listed in colour group 3, but we would say group 11a).

SECOND HONEYMOON ***** CoM 1993; Bronze Award for Decoration, 2001.

 Second Honeymoon has the strongest scent of any lavender sweet pea we know, and is a strong grower with good form and placement atop very long stems.  Exhibitors must allow time for the colour to fill the top floret. (Colour group 8)

VALERIE HARROD ***  AGM 2001; FCC, 1996. This is actually a strong salmon pink on a rich cream ground, included in many winning exhibits over recent years. (Introduced by Kerton Sweet Peas) (Colour group 13).

ZILLAH HARROD  ***  FCC 2004; PC 2004 & 5. Understated in the citation as “a beautiful lavender”, this one develops its wonderful frill without needing to be well fed, and has a smooth, even coloration.

(Introduced by Kerton Sweet Peas) (Colour group 8).
