Planting & Care
Sow Cupid Mahogany Sweet Pea seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost, or directly outdoors in early spring after danger of frost has passed. Soak seeds in water for 24 hours before planting to soften the hard coat and improve germination. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep in moist, well-drained soil. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged until seedlings emerge.
Once seedlings are established, provide a trellis or support for the vines to climb, though this dwarf variety may need only minimal support. Water regularly during dry spells and mulch to retain moisture. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Sweet peas thrive in cool weather and may decline in intense summer heat.
