Planting & Care

For best results, sow Blue Vein Sweet Pea seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost, or direct sow outdoors once the soil has warmed. Nick or soak seeds for 24 hours before planting to improve germination. Provide a trellis or support at planting time, as vines climb quickly. Keep seedlings well-watered but not waterlogged.

Once established, water regularly and mulch to retain moisture. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Sweet peas prefer cool weather and may decline in intense summer heat. Avoid planting in heavy, poorly drained soil.
