50 Solway Charm Sweet Pea Seeds Semi-Dwarf Soft Purple Climbing Flowers
Solway Charm sweet peas bring soft purple blooms to the garden on compact, semi-dwarf climbing vines. This variety is a favorite for gardeners who want the charm of classic sweet peas without the towering height of traditional types, making it easier to work into smaller spaces, borders, and container plantings. The gently ruffled flowers offer the fragrance and delicate beauty sweet peas are known for, and they make lovely cut flowers for small bouquets.
With their semi-dwarf growth habit, these vines are well suited to trellises, obelisks, netting, and patio containers where their soft purple color can be enjoyed up close. Sweet peas are cool-season growers that perform best in mild weather, rewarding gardeners with a long season of blooms when given good light and consistent moisture.

Planting & Care
Sow sweet pea seeds directly in the garden in early spring, or start them indoors in deep cells a few weeks before the last frost. Nicking or soaking the seeds before sowing can help soften the hard seed coat and support even germination. Provide a trellis, netting, or obelisk at planting time so the vines can climb as they grow.
Keep the soil evenly moist during germination and while plants establish. Water regularly during dry spells, and mulch lightly to conserve moisture. Pinch young plants to encourage branching, and remove spent flowers to keep blooms coming. Sweet peas prefer cool conditions and may slow down in the heat of summer.
