Know before you buy
Yes, because this is a vining variety that reaches up to 6 feet in height, you will need to provide a trellis, tuteur, or netting for the plants to climb.
Absolutely. The Early Mammoth Mix is a favorite among commercial growers specifically because the long stems and large, fragrant blooms are perfect for creating bouquets.
Plant the seeds at a depth of 1 inch with 6 inches of spacing between them. They thrive in full sun and can be planted during the spring, summer, or winter depending on your local climate.
The key to extending the blooming season is regular harvesting. By cutting the flowers frequently for bouquets, you encourage the plant to continue producing new blossoms rather than going to seed.
No, these sweet peas are strictly ornamental and are not considered edible. Keep them out of reach of pets and children.
