How to sow sweet peas successfully under cover?
Sow in deep pots under cover in late winter or spring, or in autumn if you can overwinter seedlings in a cool, bright shelter. Use free-draining compost and cover seeds with about 1 cm of growing medium. Water gently and keep lightly moist without standing water.
About 15–18°C suits germination. After emergence, favour good light and cool conditions to avoid weak, elongated stems. Ventilate and protect from severe frost. Harden plants off gradually before planting outdoors in spring, preserving the root ball.
