The wild annual Sweet Pea, Lathyrus odoratus, was treasured in European and American gardens for its fragrance and vining habit since its introduction from Sicily in 1699. Two-hundred years later Sweet Peas were all the rage in "old fashioned" Colonial Revival gardens and many varieties were developed both in the U.S. and Britian. A striking red and white striped variety named 'America' was introduced by J. C. Vaughan and C. C. Morse & Co. in 1896.
