Rare Beauties Sweet Pea Collection

£5.49

The ‘Rare Beauties’ collection highlights three unusual and unique varieties which were bred by Keith Hammet. ‘Almost Black’ is renowned for its intensely rich, dark maroon blooms that appear nearly black in certain light. ‘Turquoise Lagoon’ is a shorter, more delicate sweet pea variety. Its blooms open as a pale lavender, deepens through mauve, and finally mature into a rare and striking turquoise, creating a beautiful colour transition as the flowers age. The ‘Streamer Mix’ combines the classic Spencer-type flower form with bold, painterly patterns in a dazzling array of striped and flaked blooms in shades of blue, chocolate, lavender, orange, pink, purple, and scarlet.

  1. Plant sweet pea seeds in the spring, 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost.
  2.  Alternatively, plant in the autumn for stronger and earlier flowering plants.
  3. Soak the seeds in water for 12-24 hours before planting to improve germination.
  4. Sow the seeds 2 cm deep in pots or root trainers, as sweet peas require space for their long roots to grow properly.
  5. Water the seeds lightly after sowing. Wait until the seedlings have sprouted through the soil before watering again.
  6. Once the seedlings appear, move them to a cool location around 5°C. This cooler temperature will encourage root growth over stem growth.
  7. When the plant has produced 4 pairs of leaves or reached 10-15 cm tall, pinch out the central growing tip and leave around 2 leaf nodes. This will stimulate the plant to produce more side shoots.
  8. After the risk of frost has passed, transplant the seedlings to their final growing position.
  9. Space the plants 15-30 cm apart or plant two seedlings per vertical support structure.
  10. As the plants begin to grow, tie them to the support frame to help strengthen the stems.

• Feed the plants every 2 weeks to encourage continuous flowering.
• Remove any developing seed pods and regularly pick the flowers to ensure they keep producing flowers.
• Ensure the plants receive full sun exposure.
• Sweet Peas are susceptible to mildew. To prevent this issue, ensure the plants receive regular watering and are planted in well-draining soil.
