Sweet Pea - Bouquet Mix

$1.89

The Sweet Pea Bouquet Blend, 'Lathyrus odoratus', was developed with longer, heavier stems and larger flowers to make an ideal sweet pea for cut flowers. The Bouquet Blend has 1. 5 to 2. 5 inch flowers in colors of purple, rose, white, pink, blue, scarlet, cream, and salmon. The sweet peas bloom in the spring and the duration of blooming depends on the weather. The plants stop blooming once the weather warms up. They will generally bloom 3 to 5 weeks. A key element in successful growing of the Sweet Pea Bouquet Blend is very early planting. The Bouquet Blend prefers deep, rich, fertile soil. Use lots of peat or compost for early spring planting. Plant this Sweet Pea in full sun, but in a cool a spot as possible. Position them away from winds and rotate locations from year to year to prevent sweet pea pests. In cold climates plant the seed in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked. In warm climates, plant in October through January for spring bloom. They are used for cut flowers and covering for fences and walls if given proper support. ... find out more
