Planting & Care
Sow Monty Don Sweet Pea seeds outdoors in early spring, after the last frost, or start indoors 4-6 weeks before transplanting. Soak seeds in water 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. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continued blooming. Sweet peas are generally pest-resistant but watch for aphids. With proper care, you'll enjoy a profusion of fragrant red blooms.
