Planting & Care

Sow red sweet pea seeds outdoors in spring after the last frost, or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date. Soak seeds in water for 24 hours before planting to improve germination. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep in well-drained soil. Provide a trellis or support for the vines to climb. Keep the soil consistently moist during germination and establishment.

Once established, sweet peas require moderate watering and benefit from a layer of mulch to retain moisture. Fertilize lightly in early spring. Prune spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. In colder zones, apply a winter mulch for protection.
