Planting & Care
Sow Lord Nelson sweet pea seeds directly in the garden in early spring, or start them indoors in deep pots a few weeks before the last frost. Nick or soak seeds before sowing to encourage germination, and plant them about 1 inch deep in rich, well-drained soil. Provide a trellis or support for the vines to climb as they grow.
Keep the soil evenly moist during establishment and water regularly during dry spells. Mulch to conserve moisture and keep roots cool. Pick flowers frequently to encourage continued blooming and remove spent blooms. Sweet peas prefer cool growing conditions and may decline in intense summer heat.
