How to Grow

Do not soak the seeds before sowing, then they might rot. Sow the seeds indoors about 4-6 week before planting in the garden. For best germination place in 18-20°C. After germination, place the seedlings cooler. Can even be placed outside, sweet peas tolerates down to -8°C, but not colder! Can also be sown directly in the garden when the soil is ready. The plants can be pruned at 7-10cm for more branched plants. Grow beside a trellis when the high growing plants need support. Store you dry sweet pea seeds in the freezer, they will keep the germination "forever".
