"Moth-boats" of flowers flutter on a curling stem, deftly clinging to any support with delicate tendrils. The scent of flowers saturates the air, if they are not hybrid varieties, most of which have lost their aroma. Bright multi-colored “boats” of flowers, equipped with two “oars” and “sail”, avoid only pure yellow shades, dressing up in all other colors of the rainbow
Chin's family
In the legume family there is a genus "China", which combines annual and perennial climbing plants, which are very popular with gardeners when you need to shade a veranda, gazebo or balcony, drape a retaining wall or an unsightly structure.
If the plants are provided with a sunny place and rich soil, then abundant and fragrant flowering for the summer season will be ensured. It is not for nothing that the Latin name of the genus "Lathyrus", whose roots lie in the Greek language, means "very attractive".
Plants of the genus have taproots, rapidly growing lateral stems, lanceolate leaves with antennae and moth-type flowers with a wide range of colors.

Sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus) is a popular annual among flower growers. Sweet peas have many varieties that differ in stem height, the number of flowers in the flower cluster, the timing of abundant flowering, and the richness of the aroma. Clinging with delicate but strong antennae to the support, the stems reach a height of three meters.
The racemose inflorescences, reaching half a meter in length, are formed by flowers with a moth corolla of all kinds of shades. The botanical species of sweet pea has very fragrant flowers, but the flowers of some hybrid varieties have lost their aroma, gaining in size and color of flowers.
Among the famous varieties of sweet peas are tall ("Ramona", "Remembrance") and dwarf ("Color Capet", the "Little Sweethat" group), which are used for planting in rock gardens.
The rich palette of flower shades delights. These are the bright orange flowers of "Ramona"; crimson "moths" "Memories"; bright colors of dwarf varieties; two-tone "Superstar" - white with red and "Antique Fantasy" - pink and red.

Medium-sized varieties are used to decorate ridges, mixborders. Low-growing varieties are planted in rock gardens, as a pot culture.
