These are supplied as 4 plants in each plug - plant them as they are and do not tease apart, and you will end up with bigger and better displays. From earlier plantings before the end of March, you can trim them back to encourage side branching and thus more flowers.

Top Tips

As the plants mature, you'll notice that the stems get shorter. To keep longer stems on the blooms, feed, water and deadhead plants regularly to provide extra energy.

Care Information

• When the roots have filled the net pot, they're ready to be planted out.
• Sweet peas love fertile soil, so before planting, dig in plenty of organic material around the base of a teepee or frame - manure is best as it helps retain water on freely drained soil and gently feeds these hungry plants.
• Each net pot is multi sown to contain a minimum of 4 plants.
• Plant directly into the ground with the pot (the roots will grow through), or tease the plants out of the pot and divide them, planting each separately.
• Sweet peas require a support system to climb up such as wire, canes or netting. Once three or four pairs of leaves have developed the plants should be pinched by removing an inch or so of the growing tips to encourage more shoots to develop.
• As the young sweet pea plants begin to grow, tie them into their support.
• Water regularly and feed once a fortnight with a high potash feed.
• Pick blooms regularly and don't allow seed pods to form as these will stop the plants from producing flowers.
