Planting & Care

Sweet peas prefer cool weather and can be sown directly outdoors in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked. For best results, soak seeds in water for 24 hours before planting to soften the hard coat and speed germination. Sow seeds about 1 inch deep and 2-3 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge, which typically takes 10-21 days. Once seedlings are a few inches tall, thin them to 6-12 inches apart to allow good air circulation.

Provide a trellis or support for the vines to climb. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and mulch to keep roots cool and retain moisture. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Sweet peas are heavy feeders; apply a balanced fertilizer every few weeks during the growing season. Avoid overhead watering to prevent disease. With proper care, Lady Grisel Hamilton will reward you with abundant fragrant blooms for cutting and garden enjoyment.
