The small flower looks like butterflies, sweet pea comes in red, pink, white, and purple colors. Growing sweet peas in containers/grow bags is the best decision as it is a low-maintenance plant, you can move the pot as the weather changes.The sweet pea, Lathyrus odoratus, is a flowering plant in the genus Lathyrus in the family Fabaceae (legumes), native to Sicily, southern Italy and the Aegean IslandsScottish nurseryman Henry Eckford (1823–1905) cross-bred and developed the sweet pea, turning it from a rather insignificant if sweetly scented flower into a floral sensation of the 19th century.Sweet peas have been cultivated since the 17th century and a vast number of cultivars are commercially available.
