Planting & Care
Sow sweet pea seeds outdoors in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked, or start them indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost. For best germination, nick the seed coat with a nail file or soak seeds in water for 24 hours before planting. 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 as they grow.
Water regularly during dry spells, but avoid waterlogging. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly if soil is poor. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Sweet peas are toxic if ingested, so keep them away from children and pets.
