Apricot Sprite

A beautiful rich apricot sweet pea, that is almost perfect, except for the fact that, like many orange/peach sweet peas, it fades in the sun. And Apricot Sprite does not sun bleach gently, it gets dramatic sun bleach striping and marks - giving it tiger stripe look, so I like to call this beauty, Apricot Tiger.

If you have a high tunnel or green house to tuck this one in, it’s not likely to sunfade, and will hold its dark, creamy apricot color through the season.
