Sowing instructions:

Sow seeds in a good compost. Place at a temperature of 20-25C (68-77F) until germination which takes 10-21 days.

Growing instructions:

Pot up and grow sweet pea plants on in cool, bright conditions until large enough to transplant outdoors.

Pinch out the growing tips of sweet pea plants while they are still small, to encourage bushy growth. When plants are well grown transplant them outdoors into any fertile, well drained garden soil in semi-shade.

Aftercare:

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.
