Sweet Pea Percy Thrower

Description


Highly Scented  Good for Exhibition   RHS Award of Garden Merit  Spencer Type

Sweet Pea Percy Thrower is a well scented Spencer type. It produces blooms which are lilac flush opening to cream. The flowers produced are large flowers on vigourously strong stems, which makes them a good choice for the show bench. It also has the RHS Award of Garden Merit.


We recommend sowing sweet pea seeds into a good quality seed sowing compost and water with tap water rather than water from a water butt. Butt water can contain harmful pathogens, resulting in poor germination

Growing Sweet Pea Seeds

You can sow sweet pea seeds from September through to April, but the time of year you sow will depend on where you plant them. Sow September sowings in the flowering site at 2cm (3.4") deep. Later sowings can be planted in a 7.5cm deep pot with 5 seeds in each. October and November sowings in a cold frame. January sowings in a heated glasshouse. March sowings in a cold frame. April sowings direct to flowering site. Glasshouse raised seedlings should be hardened off during March.

When to Plant Out Sweet Peas

Plant out pot grown seedlings in the flowering site 15cm (6") apart in April. Thin direct sown seedlings to 10cm (4") apart. Pick flowers regularly to encourage new growth.

Maturity

Late June to September

Handy Tip

Provide sturdy support for plants. After a good rain a mature plant will be heavy.
