How to Plant Sweet Pea from Seed

When to Plant Seeds

  • Cool Climates: Sow seeds in early spring, as soon as the soil is workable.
  • Warm Climates: Plant in late fall or winter to allow for early spring blooms.

Preparing the Planting Site

  • Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours before planting to soften the seed coat.
  • Alternatively, scarify (nick) the seed coat with sandpaper to enhance germination.

Pre-Treating Seeds for Faster Germination

  • Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours before planting to soften the seed coat.
  • Alternatively, scarify (nick) the seed coat with sandpaper to enhance germination.

Starting Seeds Indoors

Outdoors: Plant seeds 1 inch deep and 2-3 inches apart. Water gently to moisten the soil. Germination occurs in 7-14 days, depending on temperature. Once seedlings reach 4-6 inches tall, thin them to 6 inches apart.

Indoors: If starting indoors, plant seeds in biodegradable pots 4-6 weeks before the last frost. Keep in a cool, well-lit location. Transplant carefully to avoid disturbing the roots.

Pro Tip

Provide a trellis or support for climbing, and pinch back growing tips to encourage bushier growth.

Bonus: Sweet peas are great cut flowers with a lovely fragrance, so don’t forget to harvest regularly to keep the blooms coming!

Getting to know your Sweet Pea

Sweet peas are fragrant, vining annual flowers that produce delicate, butterfly-like blooms in shades of pink, purple, blue, white, and red. They thrive in cool temperatures and require rich, well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. Sweet peas grow best with support, such as trellises or fences, as their tendrils help them climb up to 6 feet tall. They are popular in cottage gardens and floral arrangements due to their enchanting fragrance and soft petals. Regular deadheading extends their blooming period, and ample watering is necessary for healthy growth. Sweet peas are often planted in early spring for a prolonged blooming season. However, their seeds contain toxic compounds and should not be ingested.
