Growing Instructions

Sweet peas like Elegance Salmon Rose thrive when started cool and given strong support to climb. Sow seeds directly outdoors about 4–5 weeks before your last frost, placing them 1/4–1/2″ deep with light covering and spacing them about 6″ apart. You can also start indoors and transplant once soil is workable. Keep soil rich, moist, and well-drained to encourage robust growth. As vines reach 6–8″ tall, pinch tips to encourage denser branching and more flowering stems. Providing a sturdy trellis, fence, or netting will help plants climb and showcase their blooms. Harvest flowers when about half of the blossoms on a stem have opened to enjoy in arrangements.
