Commonly Asked Questions
Does Sweet Pea come back every year?
Sweet peas (Lathyrus odoratus) typically only live for a year, dying after setting seed. Perennial species like Lathyrus latifolius come back year after year but usually lack fragrance and have fewer varieties to choose from.
What month do you plant Sweet Peas?
For the best results, plant Sweet Peas in late October/November or late February/March. Direct sowing into the ground can also be done in April or May. Transplant seedlings and plants during mild weather spells between March and May.
Can Sweet Peas grow in pots?
Absolutely! Sweet peas thrive in pots. Use a rich, peat-free potting compost and mix in loam-based compost for extra water retention. Ensure the compost is well firmed in the container.
Do slugs eat Sweet Pea plants?
Yes, slugs and snails often target young Sweet Peas, eating the leaves. They can be identified by slime trails and the damage they leave behind. Check the plants at night and remove slugs and snails by hand.
Do Sweet Peas need a trellis?
Yes, Sweet Peas are vining plants and require support to grow. A variety of structures such as trellises, mesh supports, or fences can be used. It’s important to have a well-anchored structure to support the weight of the vines.
