Key Features:

For optimal growth of your Sweet Pea Pink Tangier Pea, follow these simple steps for sowing and cultivation:

1. Indoors Sowing Guide: Begin by sowing indoors for the surest results. Plant seeds approximately 1.5cm (1/2″) deep in a tray filled with compost. Ensure the compost is moist and then place the tray in a cold frame, greenhouse, or cool windowsill.

2. Maintain Moisture: Keep the compost consistently moist during the germination period. Seedlings typically emerge within 14-28 days.

3. Transplanting: Once the seedlings have grown large enough to handle, transplant them individually into 8cm (3″) pots. Always handle seedlings by their leaves, avoiding touching the delicate stems.

4. Acclimatization: Gradually introduce young plants to outdoor conditions, avoiding frosts, before planting them out into the garden. Space the plants approximately 30cm (1′) apart when planting out.

5. Provide Support: As your Sweet Pea Pink Tangier Pea grows, support its vigorous climbing habit with tall canes, netting, or trellis to ensure proper growth and stability.

6. Soil and Sun Requirements: Ensure the soil is well-drained and provide full sun exposure for optimal growth.

7. Hints & Tips: This variety is an excellent choice for cottage gardens, where it can gracefully scramble through established shrubs or climb over walls and fences, adding a touch of charm to the landscape.

Follow these guidelines to nurture your Sweet Pea Pink Tangier Pea into a stunning display of vibrant blooms, enhancing the beauty of your garden space.
