Growing tips:
Sweet peas are so-called cool flowers (cold germinators) and grow even in cooler temperatures and poor light conditions. Sowing in the fall results in early flowering the following year.
However, the seeds can also be started in a warmer environment (13-18ºC) starting in February, or sown directly outdoors starting in late May. Sweet peas do not tolerate waterlogging or draughts.
For better germination, soak the seeds in lukewarm water in a dark place for 24 hours. The shell will then burst open, allowing germination to occur more easily.
The more often you pick the flowers, the more sweet peas will produce.

Use:
