Royal Sweet Pea (Lathyrus Odoratus Royal Scarlet) - Sweet Peas establish readily from flower seeds, and this scarlet flower makes an excellent addition to any garden setting. These annual Sweet Peas smell wonderful, and they can be used for container gardening, hanging baskets, cut flowers for vases, or climbing up a fence or even an evergreen shrub. Their beauty is stunning!
Grow an annual Sweet Pea vine in full sun, but in areas of very hot summer weather, provide some afternoon shade for the best performance. Position the vines away from winds and rotate locations from year to year to prevent Sweet Pea pests.
How To Grow Sweet Pea Flowers From Seed: Sow the flower seeds directly outdoors. Prepare a seed bed by loosening the top 1 - 2 inches of soil and weeding. Sow the seeds and keep the soil moist. Have a trellis or wire for them to attach to as they will begin to climb very quickly after germination.
