How to grow Sweet Pea Candyfloss seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start 4–6 weeks before the last frost for earlier blooms.
• Outdoors: Direct sow in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked.

Prepare Your Materials

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

Sowing the Seeds

• Sow ½–1 inch deep in moist seed-starting mix.
• Nicking the hard seed coat and soaking the seed in warm water before sowing can speed germination.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Full sun.
• Temperature: 55–70°F (13–21°C).
• Humidity: Not critical; keep the mix evenly moist.

Germination

• Typically 7–21 days; keep the mix evenly moist but not waterlogged.
• Provide a small support as soon as seedlings begin to climb.

Transplanting

• Transplant after the last frost when seedlings are sturdy.
• Harden off for several days before planting out.
• Space about 6 inches apart at the base of a trellis or other support.

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun.
• Water: Keep soil evenly moist; sweet peas root deeply.
• Fertilizer: Generally not heavy feeders in fertile soil.
• Remove faded flowers regularly — once seed pods form, flowering stops.

Bloom Time:

Spring to early summer; deadhead to keep flowers coming.
