Planting & Care
Sow Countess Cadogan Sweet Pea seeds outdoors in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked. For earlier blooms, start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost. Nick or soak seeds for 24 hours before planting to improve germination. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep and 2-3 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Provide a trellis or support for the vines to climb.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly when plants are young. Harvest flowers regularly to encourage continued blooming. Sweet peas are cool-season annuals and may decline in extreme heat; in hot climates, provide afternoon shade.
