Did they get cold? I lost one after the cold snap, but the others seem to have survived.

Your second pic is Saxifraga x urbium - aka "London Pride" .

London Pride indeed. I have some too off my dad.

I'm crap at growing sweet peas from seed but one thing I know is they need deep roots so Best to grow 5-10 seeds in bigger pots, little ones die out too easily. Try transferring them carefully to a big pot.

We have a localish horticultural college who plants them in December. I buy large pots from them & plants are great. I have a load like yours that are useless & some that might survive but it's not worth the stress for me any more until I have time to tend to seedlings-I tend to forget about them for quite a while & then they're gone ☹️

Can't load your sweet pea picture for some reason but they are hungry and thirsty plants and may be well ready to get out of their pots and into the ground.
