Watering

Water root base deeply, avoid wetting delicate sweet pea foliage

Fertilizing

Low nitrogen bloom fertilizer biweekly once vines start budding

Pruning

Cut regularly to encourage more flowers; allowing seed pods to form will stop plants from flowering

Propagation

Propagate by seed. Sow in a cold frame in early autumn, early spring or in-situ in mid-spring. See sowing seeds indoors for further advice

Growing

Grow in humus-rich, fertile, well-drained soil in full sun or light dappled shade. Provide support and feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every two weeks when in growth. See sweetpea cultivation for more detailed advice
