Planting & Care
Sow sweet pea seeds outdoors in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked, or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost. For best germination, nick the seed coat or soak seeds in water for 24 hours before planting. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge. Provide a trellis or support for the vines to climb.
Water regularly during dry spells and mulch to keep roots cool. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Sweet peas thrive in cooler weather and may decline in summer heat. Avoid overhead watering to reduce disease risk.
