When to Sow Betty Maiden Sweet Pea Seeds

September to April September to April

Where to Sow

September and April sowings: Sow seeds direct in the flowering site 2cm (3/4") deep.
Later sowings: In pots with 5 seeds in each. (7.5cm pot)

October and November sowings: In a cold frame.
January sowings: In a heated glasshouse.
March sowings: In a cold frame.

What to do Next

Glasshouse raised seedlings should be hardened off during March and then planted out early April (weather depending). Plant out in the flowering site at 15cm (6") spacings. Thin direct sown seedlings to 10cm (4") apart. Pick flowers regularly to encourage new growth.

Handy Tip

Provide sturdy support for plants such as trellis, frames, arches or a teepee. After a good rain a mature plant will be heavy.
