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 12–20mm deep. Some gardeners soak seeds overnight before sowing to help with germination — 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 — wigwams, netting or hazel twigs all work well. Sweet peas are generous with blooms if you keep picking, so don’t 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.

Top TIP
Try growing in recycled loo roll tubes—cheap, compostable and ideal for sweet peas’ sensitive roots.
