Kensington Gardens

Inspired by one of the world's most incredible gardens, this garden of grace and beauty is delivered in one gorgeous bouquet. Among the beautiful mix of flowers, there is heartfelt hydrangea, lisianthus to show appreciation, and delicate sweet peas because they're not just pretty, they are well sweet.

With its richly colored yet small, delicate flowers, the sweet pea's history can be traced back to 17th century Italy, when a Sicilian monk, Franciscus Cupani, sent its seeds to England. Although that original sweet pea bore little resemblance to the flower we know today, when Harry Eckford, a Scottish nurseryman, crossbred the original flower, he created the colorful, ornamental and sweetly scented sweet pea we know today.

Ekford's varieties included the pink Dorothy Eckford, the lavender Lady Grisel Hamilton, the scarlet King Edward VII, and perhaps his most famous, the Countess Spencer. Meaning delicate or blissful pleasure in the language of flowers, this enchanting flower remains a favorite fragrant blossom.
