| Enjoy an American tradition of adding
sweet peas to the home landscape. Early colonist started sweet pea plantings for their
colorful blossoms and delightful fragrance. Make your sweet pea plantings during the
cool winter weather. A little frost or light freeze won’t hurt the vines that,
depending on variety, can grow over 4 feet tall.

to produce the long stems of flowers. Also choose a full sun location and improve sandy
soils with organic matter.
Following are a few tips to have plants in bloom in about six weeks. |
