How to Grow Sweet Pea Winter Sunshine Navy
When to Plant:
In most zones, sow indoors 8–10 weeks before your last frost date, or directly outdoors in early spring or fall in mild regions. Winter Sunshine varieties thrive in cool temps.
Location & Soil:
Plant in full sun with rich, well-drained soil. Sweet peas benefit from organic compost or aged manure mixed into the bed before planting.
Support:
Provide a trellis, netting, or fence for climbing. Plants can reach up to 6–8 feet tall with support.
Watering & Feeding:
Keep soil moist but not soggy. Use a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2–3 weeks during growth for best results.
Pinching Tips:
Pinch seedlings after they develop 3–4 sets of leaves to encourage bushier growth and more flower production.
