Sweet pea belongs to the Fabaceae family being of great interest both for florists and gardeners. Nowadays there is a vast variety of plant�s species due to Henry Eckford, who, during the 1800s, got the name of "Father of the Sweet Pea. � He bred plenty of improvements in color, flower size, structure and texture into species, growing wild the country of their origin- Italy.
