How to grow Knee High Sweet Pea Mix seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start 4–6 weeks before the last frost in deep pots.
• Outdoors: Direct sow in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked; sweet peas prefer cool weather.

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots (if indoors)
• Well-draining potting mix
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Nick each seed coat with nail clippers and soak overnight in warm water to speed sprouting.
• Sow 1/2 to 1 inch deep.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Full sun to part shade.
• Temperature: 55–70°F (13–21°C) — cool soil germinates best.

Germination

• Seedlings emerge in 7–14 days; some seeds take up to 21 days.
• Keep soil moist but not waterlogged.

Transplanting

• Plant out in early spring while the weather is cool.
• Space seeds 2–3 inches apart, then thin to 5–6 inches; set transplants about 9 inches apart.
• Short pea sticks or a small fence help keep plants tidy, but a tall trellis is not required.

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun; afternoon shade helps in hot summers.
• Water: Water regularly; rich, well-drained soil gives the best bloom.
• Fertilizer: Feed every two weeks once flowering begins.
• Pinch the growing tips after the second leaf pair opens for bushier plants, and cut or deadhead often to extend flowering.

Bloom Time:

Early summer to late summer; longest in cool weather.
