Growing Notes:
Prefers rich, deep, loamy, moist, well-drained soil. Provide strong trellising. The more you pick the more they produce.
Harvest Notes:
Pick when there are at least two unopened flowers at the tip. Add a source of sugar or flower food to extend vase life. 4 to 5 days vase life.
Unlike garden peas, sweet pea seeds are poisonous if ingested. Use caution around children and pets.*
