Sweet peas prefer cooloer weather. In cold winter areas, sow in seed starting containers in early spring about 6-7 weeks before the last frost date, then plant out as soon as soil can be worked. For best results, soak seeds in water overnight before sowing. Nicking the outside coating also speeds germination. If blooms are not cut regularly, deadhead the plant as soon as flowers fade. Removing spent blooms will ensure more blooms. Water and fertilize regularly.
Planting Depth: 1"
Seed Spacing: Sow Sweet Pea Flower seeds roughly 6" apart.
Nutrient Care Instructions: Apply SUPERthrive once per week. Soak in solution of 1/4 tsp per gal for 15 min. or longer depending on size and type.
Plant sweet peas along a fence with morning glories for a showy display of blooming vines all season long.

Too early yet to smell them but I’m sure they will be amazing! The packaging was super easy to read and know when and how to plant them!"
