Sweet peas - with photo

5 replies

My little one planted some sweet peas - see photo but no idea what type they are.

Any ideas what I do next - should I plant them in the garden? They're currently in the house.

Thanks from a gardening novice.

Are you planning to grow them into a pot or directly into the soil

I normally put them in a large pot with bamboo canes in a wigwam for training up. Not planted ours out yet and they are taller so maybe wait a week or so.

There’s not much sooil for them to develop their long root system.
I’d pot them on into little flower pots, carefully without touching the roots. A you tube video will show you how. Keep them indoors until they have more leaves and are about 10 cms tall.
Sweet peas are thirsty plants, so if you pot them in a planter make sure it’s a large one. I’ve always found they do best in the garden in a sunny spot.

They do best in pots IME sunny and sheltered. They can get stressed quite easily. Last year mine did not flower because it was so hot. Random!
