A stunning addition to any garden, Sweet Pea flowers demand to be picked - and with so many having such a sweet scent who could resist? Sow in pots or boxes in greenhouse/frame January-February and plant seedlings out in April after hardening them off. Alternatively sow April-May outdoors 1.5cm (½") deep and 7.5cm (3") apart. Transplant or thin out later to 23cm (9") apart. The finest sweet peas are obtained from sowings made in pots September-October. Young plants are wintered in a cold frame, and planted out 30cm (12") apart in March or April for flowers late May-August. Late May-August Some varieties have hard black seeds and we advise soaking them in water for eight hours before sowing. Try growing gypsophila to complement your cut sweet peas. Pick sweet peas continuously so that you ensure a summer-long display.
