Planting & Care
Sow sweet pea seeds outdoors in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked, or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost. Nick the seed coat or soak seeds in water for 24 hours before planting to improve germination. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge. Provide a trellis or netting at planting time for the vines to climb.
Once established, water regularly and mulch to keep roots cool. Fertilize lightly if soil is poor. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering, and cut stems often for bouquets. Sweet peas prefer cool weather and may decline in intense summer heat; plant in a spot with afternoon shade in hot climates.
