Description

A world exclusive collection of distinctly different sweet pea flowers - we believe 'Sweet Dreams' to be the best mixture ever! Each and every one, including many award winning varieties, has been selected for outstanding fragrance, exhibition standard blooms and superb growing performance. These cottage garden favourites are superb for cutting and the more blooms you cut, the more they will flower! Pop a few stems in a vase to fill a whole room with fragrance. Grow sweet peas against a sunny fence or trained on a free standing obelisk. For an informal display, let them scramble through mature shrubs. Height: 1.8m (6'). Spread: 30cm (12").

Sweet peas are a hardy annual which means they can tolerate, and even prefer cooler weather, although some varieties are also heat tolerant. If you live in a moderate climate, you can sow the seeds in the fall right into the ground or in spring as soon as the ground can be worked. It would be best to sow into a prepared bed that you readied in the fall for winter or early spring sowing.

When starting seeds indoors, I start my sweet peas under shop lights anywhere from the end of January to the beginning of March (zone 8, last frost date April 24). Once the sweet peas are 6-8 inches tall, I pinch out the tips down to a leaf set to encourage branching. I plant 1-3 sweet pea plants in a hole, spacing 8” apart down the row and 12” apart across the row. Sweet peas like lots of water and rich soil. I hope you enjoy growing these beautiful flowers as much as I do!

More Info

Feed and water sweet peas regularly throughout the growing season. When growing sweet peas it is essential to cut the flower stems frequently and deadhead faded blooms to prevent seedpods developing. This will encourage more blooms to be produced and extend the flowering period throughout summer.
