When buying sweet peas, I always check that it says either 'fragrant', 'scented', or best of all 'highly scented' on the packet. Old fashioned, heirloom and Spencer varieties are generally scented, but a lot of the modern varieties have little or no scent. Scent is the whole essence of a sweet pea, so to my mind breeding varieties without scent is a pointless exercise.
