Planting & Care

Sweet pea seeds benefit from scarification before sowing to improve germination. Nick the seed coat with a nail file or soak seeds in water for 24 hours prior to planting. Sow seeds outdoors in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked, or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost. 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 evenly moist during germination and growth. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Water regularly, especially during dry spells. Fertilize lightly if needed, but avoid excessive nitrogen, which can promote foliage over flowers. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. Sweet peas are cool-season annuals and may decline in the heat of summer; plant in a spot with afternoon shade in warmer climates to extend bloom time.
