Sweet Pea - Seed Collection

Indoor Planting:
Soak the seeds in water for approx. 12 hours before sowing. Sow the seeds 5mm deep in trays of moist compost, be careful not to over-water. Store in a warm place at an approx. temperature of 13 - 16˚c (55-60˚f), an airing cupboard is an ideal location.
Ensure that the compost is moist at all times.

Growing On:
When the seedlings are strong enough to handle they can be transplanted into bigger pots or trays. Be careful when easing the roots out as they can easily be damaged. Do not overcrowd the plants. Keep the pots in a warm light position, and turn
regularly.
Once all chance of frost has passed the plants can be transplanted into your desired location in May. Harden off first.

Outdoor Planting:
April – May
Sow seeds 0.5cm deep direct in flowering location, thin as necessary. The Sweet Peas will require support as they start to grow. Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering.
