Sweet Pea Features

The sweet pea, also known as "musk pea" or "fragrant vetch," is a fragrant plant that blooms generously throughout the summer. Perfect for adding color and texture to your garden, it thrives in sunny conditions and requires support for climbing. Whether you grow it in the ground or in a pot, ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot.

Sweet Pea Planting Tips

Sweet peas are easy to grow and offer spectacular results. Sow them between March and May or September and October. Plant 5 to 6 seeds in clusters or spaced 40 cm apart, in well-drained, sunny soil. For prolonged blooming, regularly cut back faded flowers and support the plants with a trellis or mesh.

Sweet Pea Maintenance and Protection

These annual plants require minimal but regular maintenance. Watch out for common diseases like root rot or fungal infections. Aphids, caterpillars, and slugs may attack your sweet peas, but you can easily control them with eco-friendly methods. Adequate watering and appropriate fertilizers will promote their growth and prolong their blooming.

Benefits of Sweet Peas

In addition to their beauty, sweet peas have aromatic properties. Their flowers are used to make perfumes and cosmetics. They are also appreciated for their calming properties, ideal for herbal teas and infusions. By sowing them every year, you can enjoy their bloom and benefits season after season.
