Planting & Care

For best results, sow Mrs. R. Bolton 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 soften the seed coat and improve germination. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Provide a trellis or support for the vines to climb.

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continued blooming. Sweet peas are cool-season growers and may decline in hot summer weather; plant in partial shade in warmer climates to extend the bloom period.
