Sweet Pea - T&M Prize Strain Mixed
No other annual flowers so well for so long as this this mixture of sweetpeas. None surpasses it in beauty or form, colouring or fragrance. There will be breath-taking scented blooms, in colours which glow in the sunlight and gleam in the light.
Sow October indoors, or March to April outdoors. Germinate at 20-30C on the surface of a free draining, damp seed compost, 3 seeds per 7.5cm pot. Apply a layer of compost 1cm deep. Place in a propagator or seal container in a polythene bag until after germination which takes 10-21 days. Spring sowings can be sown outdoors, 2.5cm deep in drills 7.5cm apart. Overwinter October sown plants in cooler conditions such as a cold frame before planting out in spring when the ground has warmed, 23-3cm apart. Pinch out the growing point once the first or second pair of leaves has opened. Regular removal of spent flowers will encourage further blooms.
