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. Keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge, which typically takes 10-21 days. Once seedlings are a few inches tall, thin them to 6-12 inches apart and provide a trellis or support for the vines to climb.
Water regularly during dry spells, but avoid waterlogging. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Sweet peas benefit from a layer of compost or a balanced fertilizer at planting time. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. In hot climates, provide some afternoon shade to prolong bloom time.
