Planting Instructions
Planting Season
- When to Plant: Plant Sweet Pea 'Burgundy Mix' in early spring, once the danger of frost has passed. Alternatively, start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost and transplant them outdoors once the soil warms.
- Ideal Temperature: Sweet Peas thrive in cooler temperatures between 55°F–70°F (13°C–21°C), making early spring the perfect time for planting.
Planting Details
- Seed Depth: Plant seeds 1 inch deep in fertile, well-draining soil.
- Spacing: Space seeds 6–8 inches apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.
- Soil Requirements: Prefers rich, fertile, well-draining soil with a slightly alkaline pH of 7.0–7.5. Enrich the soil with compost for best results.
- Sunlight: Needs full sun for at least 6 hours per day. Partial shade in warmer climates is beneficial during the hottest part of the day.
Care Instructions
Watering
- Water consistently to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply to encourage deep root growth.
- During dry spells, make sure to water regularly to avoid stress on the plants.
Fertilization
- Prior to planting, enrich the soil with compost or well-rotted manure.
- Apply a balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) once plants are about 6 inches tall to encourage strong growth and abundant blooms.
Support and Pruning
- Provide vertical support such as a trellis or arbor for the climbing Sweet Pea plants.
- Pinch back the growing tips to promote bushier growth, and regularly remove spent blooms to encourage more flowering.
Pest and Disease Control
- Pests: Sweet Peas are prone to aphids, slugs, and snails, so monitor for pests and use natural controls like neem oil or insecticidal soap.
- Diseases: To prevent diseases like powdery mildew, ensure good air circulation and avoid watering overhead. Space plants properly to avoid crowding.
Harvesting
- Flowering: Cut flowers when they are fully open to enjoy their beauty in floral arrangements.
- Seed Harvest: Allow seed pods to mature and dry on the plant before harvesting. Store seeds in a cool, dry place for future planting.
Storage
- Fresh Storage: Sweet Pea flowers last up to a week in a vase with water.
- Seed Storage: Store seeds in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for long-term viability. Sweet Pea seeds can remain viable for up to 2 years if stored correctly.
