Fertilizing

Weak sweet pea liquid bloom feed every two weeks spring until frost hits

Pruning

Propagation

Propagate by seed sown in a cold frame in early autumn or early spring, or in-situ in mid-spring. Propagate by seed: in milder areas sow during autumn, and overwinter the young plants in a cold frame or unheated glasshouse, or in colder areas sow in late March or April; plant out after the final spring frost. See sowing seeds indoors for further advice

Growing

Grow in humus-rich, fertile, well-drained soil in full sun or light dappled shade. Incorporate well-rotted organic manure before planting and apply a balanced liquid fertilizer every two weeks when in growth. Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering. See sweetpea cultivation for further information
