    I grew Sweet pea Millenium this year, a single colour pale red as the second photo . I must have had a rogue seed in the packet , because one grew like the first photo ! It is a bi-colour mauve and purply blue , stems are about 12" long with four flowers per stem. It has grown to about 7 feet and is very heavily flowered . We really like it but what is it ? Wading through some sites it looks like Matucuna or Cupani ?

    TIA

      If that is a true representation of the colour I would rule out Cupani - it is darker as I recall.
