Planting & Care

For best results, sow sweet pea seeds outdoors in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked. Nick the seed coat or soak seeds in water for 24 hours before planting to aid germination. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep and 2-3 inches apart 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. Fertilize lightly if needed. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continued blooming. Sweet peas are cool-season annuals and may decline in hot summer weather.
