Once germinated grow sweet peas on in cooler conditions before transferring to a cold frame for overwintering. Spring sowings can be made outdoors directly into drills at a depth of 2.5cm and a distance of 7.5cm apart. Pinch out the growing points of each stem once the second pair of leaves has opened to encourage bushier growth.In spring plant sweet peas outdoors at a distance of 23cm apart in any well drained garden soil in full sun. Train the stems onto a suitable support such as trellis or a free standing climbing frame. 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 throughout summer.Quantity: 1 packet of 25 seeds
