Planting & Care

For best results, sow sweet pea seeds directly 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 encourage 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.

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 and mulch to retain moisture. Deadhead spent flowers to prolong blooming. Sweet peas prefer cool weather and may decline in intense summer heat.
