Planting & Care

Sow sweet pea seeds outdoors in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked, or start them indoors 4 to 6 weeks before the last frost. For best germination, nick the seed coat or soak seeds in water for 24 hours before planting. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge. Once seedlings are a few inches tall, thin them to the recommended spacing.

Provide a trellis or support for the vines to climb, even though this is a dwarf variety. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Sweet peas prefer cooler weather and may decline in intense summer heat.
