Planting & Care
Sow Alan Titchmarsh Sweet Pea seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost, or directly outdoors in early spring after danger of frost has passed. Soak seeds in water for 24 hours before planting to improve germination. Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep in moist, well-drained soil. Provide a trellis or support for the vines to climb. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and mulch to retain moisture. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming.
For best results, plant in a location with good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases. Sweet peas prefer cooler temperatures and may decline in intense summer heat. Fertilize lightly at planting time and again mid-season if needed.
