Lot's of small plants per pot - garden ready - quick to grow.

Sweet pea is a easy to grow highly scented flowering plant, native to Sicily, Cyprus, southern Italy and the Aegean Islands.

It is a annual climbing plant, growing to a height of 1–2 metres, where suitable support is available.

As your plants grow they’ll start to become tall and leggy.

Encourage them to produce side shoots by pinching out the tips of the plant. Simply nip off the top of the stem with your fingers, just above a set of leaves.

This will make each plant much bushier and more robust. And the more shoots there are, the more flowers the plant will produce!

Plant your sweet peas out in a bright sunny spot in the garden that’s easily accessible for regular picking.

Sweet peas love a rich, moist soil so dig a couple of buckets of compost into the planting area beforehand to enrich the soil and hold moisture during dry weather. Alternatively, plant sweet peas out in large containers on the patio. 

But wherever you decide to plant them, you’ll need to provide a suitable support as sweet peas are climbers.

Put your support frame into position before you start planting. 

Turn each pot out and gently separate the plants.

Place 2 or 3 seedlings in each hole for a nice, full display. Aim to plant each group about 15cm apart.
