Planting & Care
For best results, sow Royal Scarlet Sweet Pea seeds outdoors in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked. Nick the seed coat or soak seeds in water for 24 hours before planting to improve germination. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep and 2-3 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Keep the soil evenly moist until germination, which typically occurs in 10-21 days.
Provide a trellis or other support for the vines to climb. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and mulch to retain moisture. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Sweet peas prefer cool weather and may decline in intense summer heat. Fertilize lightly if needed, but avoid excessive nitrogen, which promotes foliage over flowers.
