SOW: sow in deep pots from October to February and overwinter in a cold frame, or sow in March or April. In mild areas, you can also direct sow in spring. Sow seeds 12ā20mm deep. Some gardeners soak seeds overnight before sowing to help with germination ā not essential, but worth a try.
GROW: pinch out the tops when seedlings reach about 5cm to encourage stronger side shoots. Harden off spring-sown plants before planting out in May or June. Overwintered plants often flower earlier. Give them something to climb ā wigwams, netting or hazel twigs all work well. Sweet peas are generous with blooms if you keep picking, so donāt hold back.
ENJOY: gather as a serene white bouquet or grow alongside deep purple, bold orange or dark blue for striking contrast. For something softer, pair with pale blue and imagine swans gliding across a summer-lit lake.
