Planting & Care
Sow sweet pea seeds directly outdoors in early spring or start them indoors in deep containers a few weeks before the last frost. Nick or soak seeds before sowing to help soften the hard coat and support even germination. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep in rich, well-drained soil, and keep the growing medium evenly moist but not soggy.
Provide a trellis or support for the vines to climb as they develop. Water regularly during dry spells, mulch to retain moisture, and deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. Sweet peas prefer cool conditions and may decline in intense summer heat.
