Growing Non-GMO Sweet Pea Everlasting Flower Seeds

Soaking the seeds overnight in water will boost germination rates, although this is not required. For direct outdoor sowing, choose a sunny spot with organic material worked into the soil as soon as frost has passed. For the hardiest sweet pea plants, sow Everlasting seeds at the bottom of a 6 inch trench. Soak sweet pea Everlasting seeds for 24 hours prior to planting; germination will take about 14 days. Once plants are established, gradually fill in the trench until the ground is level. In mild climates, plant in September through November. For severe climates, sow Everlasting seeds in spring indoors 4-5 weeks before the final frost, then transplant indoors or out.

A trellis or similar structure can be inserted nearby to give height, air circulation, and definition during growth. Although this variety is less likely to need a trellis, it may climb up it on its own or need some help to train it upwards. To extend blooming, add mulch to sweet peas to keep roots cool, and deadhead wilted blooms and foliage. While this variety can handle heat better than other varieties, it still prefers a nice cool summer.

About Sweet Pea Everlasting Garden Seeds

We do not recommend consuming any part of this plant. This variety is not in the same genus as the popular edible peas (Pisum sativum).

These sweet peas can also be used as short-lived cut flowers for short-stemmed arrangements. They add bright colors and a terrific aroma to any bouquet or centerpiece.

Expect bright blooms about 1-2 inches wide and tall popping up over all the vines.

Sweet peas generally originated from the Mediterranean, specifically Sicily, southern Italy, and the Aegean Islands. They are now found wild in many climates all across the world, and are commonly grown in millions of cultivated gardens for their color and fragrance.

Note: Sweet peas require temperatures below 60 F to initiate blooming. Once they have bloomed, they have higher temperature tolerance.

Although it is not necessary for most growing zones, starting these indoors will ensure the earliest spring blooms. After just 2-3 weeks, transplant them outside after hardening off.
