Planting & Care

For best results, nick or soak seeds before sowing to help soften the hard seed coat. Sow seeds indoors in late winter or directly in the garden after the last frost, about 1 inch deep. Provide a trellis, netting, or fence for the vines to climb as they grow. Sweet peas prefer cool growing conditions and benefit from a layer of mulch to keep roots cool and moist.

Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and pick flowers frequently to encourage continued blooming. Avoid overhead watering where possible to help prevent disease. With proper support and care, Prince Edward sweet peas will reward you with abundant fragrant blooms throughout the season.
