Flower Feather Farm Sweet Pea Seed Collection

You can do either, but sweet peas generally prefer being sown directly into the garden once the soil is workable. If you have a very short growing season, starting them indoors in deep pots about 4-6 weeks before your last frost date can give them a head start.

Because these are climbing annuals that reach 6 to 8 feet in height, you will need a sturdy vertical support system like a trellis, netting, or a fence. Plan to space your seeds about 3-4 inches apart along the base of your support structure.

No, these sweet peas are strictly for ornamental use and cut flower arrangements. They are not the same variety as the edible garden pea (Pisum sativum) and should not be consumed.

Yes, but you will need a large, deep container—at least 12-18 inches deep—to accommodate their root system. Ensure the pot has a built-in trellis or is placed against a wall where you can install netting for them to climb.

The secret to a long-lasting harvest is consistent harvesting. The more flowers you cut for bouquets, the more the plant will produce; if you leave spent blooms on the vine to form seed pods, the plant will stop flowering.

Sweet peas are cool-season annuals that thrive in spring and early summer. As temperatures rise significantly, they will naturally begin to decline, so plan to enjoy them during the cooler months of your growing season.
