Unlike tall climbing sweet peas, this dwarf variety grows in a bushy, self-supporting mound, making it an excellent choice for borders, containers, and small garden spaces. The fragrant flowers appear in a mix of gentle pastel tones, adding a romantic, cottage-garden feel to any planting area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBijou Mix sweet peas are easy to grow from seed and begin blooming relatively early in the season. Their short stature means they rarely require staking, and they work well as edging plants, in patio pots, or combined with other annuals. The flowers are also suitable for cutting, bringing their delicate color and sweet scent indoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact, dwarf growth habit that stays bushy and self-supporting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePastel flower mix in soft shades of pink, lavender, cream, and blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFragrant blooms that attract pollinators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for borders, containers, and small-space gardens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnnual life cycle with a long blooming season when deadheaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lathyrus odoratus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Annual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, fertile soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate; keep soil evenly moist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dwarf, bushy, self-supporting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late spring to summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 8–12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6–9 inches apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor best results, sow Bijou Mix sweet pea seeds directly outdoors in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked. Alternatively, start seeds indoors 4–6 weeks before the last frost in individual pots to avoid root disturbance. Soaking seeds in water for 12–24 hours before sowing can help soften the hard seed coat and improve germination. Plant seeds about 1\/2 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce seedlings emerge, provide a sunny location and water regularly, especially during dry spells. Dwarf sweet peas benefit from a light application of balanced fertilizer at planting time. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continued blooming throughout the season. These compact plants generally do not require staking, but a small twig or short support can help keep them tidy in windy spots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e50 Dwarf Sweet Pea Bijou Mix seeds for planting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795614302518,"sku":"FOLIA2-684","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7537920145_74z3.jpg?v=1792671967","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/dwarf-sweet-pea-seeds-bijou-mix-pastel-annual-flowers-50-seeds","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
