jerseyridgearts, these lathyrus are dwarf plants, about 12-15" tall. Sorry, no fragrance, but so pretty!

They do take a long time to flower well rutholive, last year was the first good year for mine, about 4 years from planting and I think 5 from seed. Yours looks more like the ones I've seen at garden centres, mine were bought as 'Rainbow mix'.

The purple was a weak plant and it was lucky to survive, but is a really vibrant colour. The flower is a deeper purple at the base than shows.
