Planting
- Soil: Rich, well‑drained, fertile soil encourages strong growth
- Aspect: Full sun
- Indoors: Sow in pots or trays about 1.5–2 cm deep under cover, then harden off before outdoor planting.

Care
Sweet peas appreciate consistent moisture, especially while establishing and as tendrils start climbing. Pinching out the growing tips when young encourages branching and more flowering shoots, and regular deadheading keeps blooms coming through summer into early autumn.
