Planting & Care
Sow sweet pea seeds directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed, or start them indoors in individual pots for earlier blooms. Nick or soak seeds before sowing to help with germination, then plant about 1 inch deep in moist, well-drained soil. Provide a trellis, netting, or fence for the vines to climb as they grow.
Keep young plants evenly watered while they establish. Mulch lightly to conserve moisture, and water at the base to help keep foliage dry. Pick flowers regularly to encourage continued blooming, and remove spent blooms as needed. Sweet peas prefer cool to mild weather and may slow down in intense summer heat.
