Planting & Care

Soak seeds in water for 24 hours before planting to improve germination. Plant seeds about 1/2 inch deep in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Provide a trellis or support for the vines to climb.
Keep the soil evenly moist during germination and growth. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continued blooming. Sweet peas benefit from a layer of mulch and consistent watering, especially during dry spells.
