Planting & Care
Sow Topsy Sweet Pea seeds outdoors in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked. For best results, nick the seed coat or soak seeds in water for 24 hours before planting to aid germination. Plant seeds 1 inch deep and 2-3 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Keep the soil moist until germination, which typically occurs in 10-21 days. Provide a trellis or support for the vines to climb.
Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and mulch to retain moisture. Fertilize lightly once a month. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Sweet peas are cool-season annuals and may decline in hot summer weather; plant in early spring or fall in mild climates for best performance.
