Planting & Care
For best results, sow Montpellier Sweet Pea seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost, or directly outdoors in early spring once the soil is workable. Soak seeds in water for 24 hours before planting to speed 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.
Once established, water regularly and mulch to keep roots cool. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Sweet peas thrive in cool weather and may decline in intense summer heat; plant in a spot with good air circulation to prevent disease.
