How to Grow and Care for Them
To achieve the best results with Tall Mixed Sweet Peas, choose a location with good sun exposure and light, well-drained soil enriched with compost. Soil that is too heavy or waterlogged can inhibit growth and reduce flowering.
Sowing Time and Methods: You can sow indoors 4 to 6 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors as soon as the risk of frost has passed. To speed up germination, soak the seeds for 12 to 24 hours and plant them 1 to 2 cm deep. A temperature between 16 and 22°C promotes emergence within 10 to 21 days, depending on conditions.
Support and Training: Install a trellis, net, or tension wires as soon as the plants start to grow to guide the stems upwards. Lightly pinch back young shoots (after 3 to 4 leaves) to encourage branching and increase the number of flower clusters.
Ongoing Care: Keep the soil slightly cool and moist without waterlogging. Water regularly during dry periods and prefer watering at soil level rather than on the leaves to limit diseases. Trim or deadhead faded flowers to encourage new blooms and extend the flowering period.
