How to grow Sweet Pea Lipstick seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start indoors in autumn or late winter in deep pots.
• Outdoors: Direct sow in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked, or in autumn in mild climates.

Prepare Your Materials

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

Sowing the Seeds

• Soak seeds overnight or nick the hard seed coat to speed germination.
• Sow 1/2-1 inch (1-2.5 cm) deep — seeds need darkness to sprout.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Full sun after germination.
• Temperature: Cool conditions, 50-65°F (10-18°C), are best.

Germination

• Germination takes 7-21 days.
• Keep seedlings cool and bright to prevent legginess.

Transplanting

• Transplant in early spring; seedlings tolerate light frost.
• Harden off before planting out.
• Space 6-8 inches apart at the base of supports.

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun (afternoon shade in very hot regions).
• Water: Water deeply and regularly, especially while flowering.
• Fertilizer: Feed with a low-nitrogen, high-potassium fertilizer during bloom.
• Install sturdy supports at planting time; pinch out the tip when seedlings are 4-6 inches tall for bushier plants. Note: sweet pea seeds are poisonous if eaten — keep away from children and pets.

Bloom Time:

Early summer to late summer.
