Sweet Peas

Sweet peas bring fragrance, delicate color, and graceful climbing stems to spring gardens and bouquets. Heirloom, Spencer, compact, and early-flowering types offer different combinations of scent, stem length, bloom size, and heat tolerance.

Sow in cool soil and provide a trellis from the beginning. Keep roots cool and evenly moist, then cut flowers often before hot weather shortens the season.
