Planting & Care
For best results, sow 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. Nick the hard seed coat or soak seeds in water for 24 hours before planting to improve germination. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge. Provide a trellis or support for the vines to climb.
Water regularly during dry spells, and mulch to retain moisture and keep roots cool. 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, these vines will produce an abundance of colorful, fragrant flowers throughout the season.
