Growing Instructions

When to Start

Sweet peas thrive in cool conditions and prefer to get an early start. Seeds can be direct‑sown outdoors as soon as the soil can be worked, or started indoors several weeks before transplanting. Early planting encourages stronger plants and better flowering before summer heat arrives.

Seed Preparation

For improved germination:

• Soak seeds in room‑temperature water for 8–12 hours before planting
• Alternatively, lightly nick the seed coat before sowing

Planting

• Planting depth: 2–3 cm (1 inch)
• Spacing: 5–8 cm (2–3 inches) apart
• Sun: Full sun to light shade
• Soil: Well‑drained, fertile soil enriched with compost

Provide a trellis, netting, or support at planting time, as sweet peas climb using tendrils.

Care & Maintenance

• Water regularly, especially during dry spells—do not allow soil to fully dry out
• Mulch to keep roots cool and retain moisture
• Pinch young plants when they reach about 15–20 cm (6–8 inches) tall to encourage bushier growth
• Avoid high‑nitrogen fertilizers; too much nitrogen encourages leaves over flowers

Flowering & Harvest

• Regular harvesting or deadheading encourages continuous blooming
• Cut flowers early in the morning for best vase life
• The more you pick, the more the plants will flower

End of Season Tip

Once flowering slows in hot weather, plants can be removed and composted. Sweet peas are best grown in a new location each year to reduce disease pressure.

Ideal For

• Trellises & vertical garden features
• Cottage gardens
• Cut‑flower gardens
• Fragrant borders and entryways
