Do you cut off any of the multiple stems that some start out with, or just let them all grow?

In reply to Gwen Singh. Their growth will slow down if the temperatures get too warm or if they start to go to seed. The more you harvest the flowers the more they'll produce.

I planted your sweet pea seeds in November now they are 6 feet tall butt after the first week of beautiful blooms they stopped blooming I gave them a low nitrogen fertilizer and added some compost but still have very few blooms. Can’t figure out what to do next??

My first season planting sweet peas and Floret seeds did not disappoint! Gorgeous colors, fragrance, I’m thrilled. As my 4 yr old garden partner enjoyed “picking” all the labels I had in my nursery pots, I’m contenting myself with unknown names but beautiful lavender, pink, red and blue fragrant blossoms. Next year I will secure my garden tags!

If my sweet pea starts are a bit leggy when I go to plant them in the ground can I plant them deeper than what they were in their containers or will it rot the stem

Hi! Thank you for the writing on these beauties. I have both a Janet Scott variety and a perennial mix. I know Janet Scott can be very tall. Can you help with height expected for the perennial mix?

Thank you!

In reply to Ann Ellis. They'll need a trellis of some sort to climb and planting them while the weather is still cool in the spring is best as they prefer cooler temperatures below 80 degrees. Enjoy your sweet peas this year!

In reply to Catherine C. It sounds like they may be a little leggy and need more light. Once they produce true leaves then you can pinch above a leaf node.

I am currently growing your beautiful Blue Shift Sweet peas. The seedlings are approximately 4-6″ tall but there are no leaf joints yet, just a single stalk. Should I still pinch back to encourage growth? Thanks!
