Planting & Care

Sow Dragonfly Sweet Pea seeds outdoors in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked, or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost for earlier blooms. Soak seeds in water for 24 hours before planting to help soften the hard seed coat and improve germination. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep and 2-3 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Provide a trellis or other support for the vines to climb.

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly if needed, but avoid excessive nitrogen, which can promote foliage growth at the expense of flowers. Deadhead regularly to prolong blooming. Sweet peas are cool-season annuals and may decline in intense summer heat; plant in a spot with some afternoon shade in hotter regions.
