Planting & Care

Sow Spangles Sweet Pea seeds outdoors in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked. For best results, nick the seed coat with a file or soak seeds in water for 24 hours before planting to speed germination. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep and 2-3 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge, which typically takes 10-21 days. Once seedlings are a few inches tall, thin them to 6-12 inches apart to allow good air circulation.

Provide a trellis or 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 benefit from a layer of mulch and occasional feeding with a balanced fertilizer. Avoid overhead watering to prevent disease. With proper care, you'll enjoy a profusion of fragrant blooms throughout the season.
