Planting & Care

Sweet pea seeds benefit from scarification or soaking before sowing to improve germination. Sow seeds outdoors in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked, or start indoors 4 to 6 weeks before the last frost. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination. Provide a trellis or support for the vines to climb.

Once established, water regularly and mulch to keep roots cool. Fertilize lightly if needed, but avoid excessive nitrogen, which can reduce flowering. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong the flowering season. Sweet peas are cool-season annuals and may decline in intense summer heat.
