50 Solway Sapphire Sweet Pea Seeds - Deep Blue-Purple Semi-Dwarf Climbing Flowers
Solway Sapphire Sweet Pea is a distinctive semi-dwarf climbing variety prized for its rich deep blue-purple blooms. The compact vines reach a manageable height, making them easier to support than tall sweet peas while still delivering the fragrant, ruffled flowers gardeners love. The striking sapphire-toned petals add depth and contrast to cut flower arrangements, cottage garden borders, and trellis plantings.
These sweet peas are well suited to growing along low fences, obelisks, and containers where their semi-dwarf habit keeps plants tidy. The colorful blooms attract pollinators and provide a long season of interest when spent flowers are removed regularly. With 50 seeds, there is plenty to sow for a generous display or to stagger plantings across the season.

Planting & Care
Sow sweet pea seeds directly outdoors in early spring once soil can be worked, or start them indoors in deep pots 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 well-drained soil and keep the area consistently moist until seedlings emerge.
Provide a trellis, obelisk, or low support for the semi-dwarf vines to climb. Water regularly during dry spells, avoid waterlogged soil, and mulch lightly to retain moisture. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering, and cut stems for bouquets to keep plants productive through the season.
