Easy to grow, hardy sweet peas....a summer favorite!
Full sun
Zone: 1-10 Depending on zone, either sow outdoors in early spring, while the soil is still cool and light frost is still possible. Can sow indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost. Seeds can be direct sown in the fall if winters are mild like here in the Pacific NW. I just allow reseeding as plant lasts only the one time so make sure and save your own seeds to plant for another season.

Starting Sow seeds 1cm (½") deep. If starting indoors, chip seeds or soak them in warm water for 24 hours. Use a seed inoculant for the best results. Maintain a soil temperature of 12-18°C (55-65°F). Seeds should germinate in 10-20 days.

Growing For best results, prepare the sweet pea bed the previous fall. Cultivate the soil to 45cm (18") deep, incorporating a generous amount of finished compost. Also dig in bone meal. At transplant time, dig ¼ cup complete organic fertilizer into the soil beneath each plant. Space vines at 15cm (6") and provide trellis support. Mulch around plants to keep the soil as cool as possible, and water during dry weather. Keep plants picked to prolong the blooming period.
