Ornamental sweet peas (Lathyrus odoratus) are treasured for their graceful blossoms and distinctive fragrance. Their delicate flowers add a romantic touch to supported garden plantings and fresh-cut bouquets.

For ornamental use only: These are flowering sweet peas, not edible garden peas. Do not eat the seeds, pods or other plant parts. Keep away from children and pets.

Why Grow Sweet Pea Flowers?

Old-fashioned fragrance: Many varieties offer the familiar sweet pea scent, although fragrance strength varies by selection.
Graceful blossoms: Delicate, often ruffled petals bring soft texture to borders and arrangements.
Vertical garden interest: Climbing varieties use tendrils to grow on trellises, netting and other supports.
Lovely cut flowers: Regular picking provides small bouquets while helping prevent seed-pod formation.
Variety-specific performance: Check the product listing for flower color, mature height, support needs and flowering season. Heat tolerance and bloom timing differ by variety.

Planting Tips for Success

Plan for cool conditions: Sweet peas generally grow and flower best in cool weather. Sow early for spring flowers in cooler regions, or consider fall planting where winters are mild.
Follow the packet: Use the selected variety's sowing depth and seed-preparation directions. If starting indoors, choose deep containers and transplant gently before roots become crowded.
Prepare the soil: Choose fertile, well-drained soil enriched with compost and a sunny site. In hot regions, some afternoon shade may help reduce heat stress.
Install support early: Provide netting or a trellis for climbing varieties while plants are small. Dwarf varieties may have different support requirements.
Maintain even moisture: Water at soil level and mulch around established plants to help keep roots cool. Avoid both waterlogged soil and prolonged drying.
Keep flowers picked: Remove faded blooms and developing pods to encourage continued flowering. Blooming may slow or stop as temperatures rise.
Harvest gently: Cut stems when several blossoms are open, place promptly in clean water and enjoy their fragrance indoors.
