Planting & Care

Sow Paint Box Sweet Pea seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost, or direct sow outdoors in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked. Nick or soak seeds for 24 hours before planting to improve germination. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Provide a trellis or support at planting time, as vines climb by tendrils and need something to grab.

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mulch to keep roots cool and water during dry spells. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continued blooming. Sweet peas prefer cool weather and may decline in intense summer heat. Fertilize lightly if growth appears slow. With proper care, plants will reward you with fragrant blooms over a long season.
