Sweet Pea Colourcade is a vibrant colour mix of early flowering and heavily perfumed sweet peas. Sweet Pea Colorcade produces masses of lightly frilled flowers on long stems that flower early in the season. Perfect for picking.

Choose a sunny, well-drained sheltered position. Sow into damp soil beside trellis or support (up to 2m) direct where they are to grow. Cover with Yates Black Magic Seed Raising Mix and firm down. Do not water for a couple of days after sowing.

Support small seedlings with twigs until they can reach trellis. For best results have trellis running in a north-south direction. Use seeds of all sizes as seeds of darker coloured flowers are often small and shrivelled. Pick blooms regularly to promote further flowering. At the end of the season improve soil by digging in these nitrogen-rich plants.

Plant height 1.5 – 2m | Germination 10 – 14 days | Flowering 12 – 14 weeks
