How To Grow Sweet Pea Flowers From Seed
For best germination, Sweet Pea flower seeds need to be scarified before sowing. Nicking the seed with a nail clipper breaks the outer coat of the Sweet Peas seeds so they can absorb water immediately. By doing this a larger percentage of the seeds will germinate and they will sprout a few days earlier. After nicking the seed, soak the Sweet Pea flower seeds over night in tepid water. Sow annual Sweet Pea seeds directly outdoors.
Prepare a seed bed by loosening the top 1 - 2 inches of soil and weeding. Sow the flower seeds 2 - 3 inches apart, and thin plants later to 5 - 6 inches apart. When the Sweet Pea seedlings have 3 - 4 pairs of leaves, pinch the top of the seedling, leaving 2 - 3 pairs of leaves. This encourages a more branching habit making the Sweet Pea plants fuller. Have a trellis or wire for the annual Sweet Pea vine to attach to as it will begin to climb very quickly after germination.
Grow Sweet Pea plants in full sun, but in areas of very hot summer weather, provide some afternoon shade for the best performance. Position them away from winds and rotate locations from year to year to prevent Sweet Pea pests. In cold climates plant the seed in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked. In warm climates, plant in October through January for spring bloom.
