FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

When can I grow Sweet Peas in the UK?

Grow Sweet Peas in autumn or spring. Autumn-grown plants can produce earlier flowers, while spring growing is a simple option for most gardens.

Where is the best place to grow Sweet Peas?

Sweet Peas need full sun, rich soil and sturdy support such as canes, netting or a trellis. A sheltered position helps protect the stems and flowers.

Why are my Sweet Peas not flowering?

Sweet Peas may flower poorly if they are in shade, dry at the roots or allowed to form seed pods. Water deeply, feed regularly and pick flowers often.

Should I pinch out Sweet Peas?

Yes. Pinching out the growing tip when plants are young encourages bushier growth and more flowering stems.

How do I keep Sweet Peas flowering for longer?

Pick flowers regularly, remove seed pods and water well in dry weather. The more flowers you cut, the more the plant is encouraged to produce.
