Spencer Mixed Sweet Pea Seeds

🌱 Sowing

• Sow October to April in pots or modules, or direct outdoors once conditions are suitable.
• Cover lightly with compost and keep moist until germination.
• Label your sowings clearly and keep young seedlings protected from slugs.

🪴 Planting Out

• Plant out after hardening off and after risk of frost has passed.
• Harden off indoor-raised plants gradually before moving them outside.
• Water well after planting to help roots establish.

☀️ Growing Conditions

• Position: Full sun
• Habit: Climbing plants approx. 1.5-2m tall
• Keep watered during dry spells and support taller varieties if needed.

✂️ Harvesting / Use

• Pick flowers regularly or deadhead to extend the display.
• Harvest in dry weather where possible and handle produce or flowers gently.
• Use fresh for the best flavour, colour or display quality.

💡 Top Tips

• Sow little and often for crops where repeat harvests are useful.
• Keep young plants weed-free so they are not competing for light and nutrients.
• Check plants regularly during warm weather, as containers and raised beds can dry quickly.
