Planting & Care

Sweet pea seeds benefit from scarification or soaking before sowing to improve germination. Sow seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost, or directly outdoors in early spring once the soil is workable. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep 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. Once seedlings emerge, thin them to 6-12 inches apart. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Regular watering and a balanced fertilizer will encourage healthy growth and abundant blooms. Deadhead spent flowers to prolong the blooming period.
