Potted sweet peas have a rich floral fragrance and exceptionally beautiful flowers.

What we are introducing below is the sweet pea. It is a very fragrant climbing flower whose blooms have a captivating delicate scent and can cover a fence, making it suitable for growing in a backyard or on a terrace. Growing sweet peas not only provides beautiful flowers to admire, but its stems and leaves also grow cleanly and its scent is sweet, which can attract many birds or butterflies and make a terrace full of life.

The flowers of the sweet pea can be picked and enjoyed as cut flowers. Its flowers are edible, and placing them on desserts or cakes as a decoration is also a good choice.

To grow them, simply buy seeds and sow them directly. They are generally sown after the weather warms up in spring. Indoors, you can start seedlings in winter, then transplant them to a terrace or backyard after it warms up. They must be transplanted with soil, otherwise the roots are easily damaged.

Before sowing sweet peas, soak the seeds in clean water for one day, and sow them after the seed coats have softened. This can speed up rooting. After sowing, keep them warm and moist, and generally they will take root and sprout after one week.

The above are its seedlings. If you want sweet peas to bloom more, the growing environment must have sufficient light and the soil must be kept loose and fertile. Of course, the soil should be relatively deep. In addition to ordinary fresh soil, you should also add plenty of compost soil.

When the seedlings grow to about 15 cm, pinch off the tips. This can promote rooting. Also set up a support beside them to let the sweet peas climb and grow, and you can use a small string to help them climb.

During the care period, keep the soil moist and avoid the soil becoming too dry, so that they can bloom easily.

In summer, avoid excessively high temperatures, and make sure the soil does not become too dry. Provide appropriate shade during intense sun exposure to prevent wilting.

Sweet peas are slightly more delicate than ordinary pea varieties, so pay more attention when caring for them. Avoid excessively high growing temperatures, and they are also not suited to excessive sun exposure, otherwise the stems and leaves will wilt.

Although other peas are easy to grow, they certainly do not have the fragrance of sweet peas. However, the seed pods of sweet peas cannot be eaten, which is also a major difference from ordinary peas.
