Renee's Garden Border Sweet Pea, Explorer Mix

Sweet Pea - Explorer, Knee-High - Lathyrus odoratus

Annual - With early blooming flowers and the most beautiful color range, the Explorer is the best short, non-climbing sweet pea, perfect for beds and borders. The bushy 2.5' plants soon bear beguiling, dainty winged blossoms with exquisite honeyed fragrance in entrancing rich hues of deep rose, lavender, salmon, mid-blue, rose crimson, pink, scarlet and white. Flower stems are long enough to cut for long lasting perfumed bouquets.

Soil & Water:Sweet peas must have well-drained soil, so dig deeply and enrich with aged manure or compost before sowing seeds.

Planting & Growing: Sow seeds in full sun in cool early spring weather (as early as the ground can be worked). In mild winter climates, where the ground does not freeze, sweet peas can be planted in the fall. Seedlings will form strong root systems, then overwinter to bloom vigorously in the spring. Plant seeds 1" deep and 2 - 3" apart. When seedlings are 2" tall, thin to 4" apart to allow plants room to mature.
