Common Name: | Sweet Pea |

Growing Info: Ideally sown indoors Oct-April for strong plants in the spring. Allow 2-3 seeds per pot and plant 1cm deep in good quality seed compost. Keep at temperatures of 20-25°C for germination. Acclimatise seedlings to outdoor temperatures once weather warms in spring and plant out once frosts have finished. Sow directly where they are to flower 2.5cm deep in April-May. |

Aftercare: Keep sweet peas flowering with regular deadheading or picking. Feed with high-potash fertiliser fortnightly once flowering. Pinch out growing tips when young for strong, bushy plants. |
