FAQ about Sweet Pea – White

What kind of soil suits sweet peas best?
Sweet peas thrive in fertile, well-drained, humus-rich soil with a pH of 6.0-7.5. Dig in compost or well-rotted manure before sowing or planting. Avoid heavy clay that waterlogs around the roots.
How often should sweet peas be watered?
Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially in dry spells and while they are flowering. Water deeply at the base and never let the soil dry out completely, as stress makes the plants stop flowering.
Do sweet peas need deadheading?
Yes, the more you pick, the more they flower. Cut flowers for the vase regularly and remove faded flowers before they form seed pods. Give the plants netting or a wigwam of canes to climb.
Which pests and diseases can affect sweet peas?
Aphids may attack the young shoots and can be rinsed off or treated with insecticidal soap. Powdery mildew can appear in late summer, and slugs and snails love young seedlings, so protect them early on.
Can sweet peas be overwintered?
No, the sweet pea is an annual and dies after flowering or at the first frost. Collect ripe seeds from dry pods to sow the following year. Soaking the seeds overnight before sowing speeds up germination.
