September and October are sweet pea planting months for us here in the mild-winter west. We have a great selection of seeds to choose from including the earliest bloomers and the very popular Old Fashioned varieties. Old Fashioned sweet peas are particularly fragrant. We also have collections of sweet peas from 6-packs.
Sweet peas planted now, in soil that has been enriched with 2-3″ of Gold Rush or Steer Manure will sprout and become established before winter cool temperatures arrive.
The earliest ones can actually bloom as soon as January as they require just 10 hours of sunlight per day to set buds. The later varieties will be nice large plants by the time early spring arrives and will set a profusion of blooms.
