How to Grow
Sow Sweet Pea 'Royal Family' seeds in early spring for strong, fragrant plants. Provide support like a trellis for climbing and enjoy blooms through summer.
Sowing
Sow seeds into root trainers, deep pots or loo rolls to promote long roots. Keep seedlings cool and bright. Pinch out the tips at 8–10cm to encourage bushy growth.
Growing
Plant out in full sun and well-drained soil. Tie stems to canes or netting as they climb. Water regularly and feed with a high-potash liquid feed once buds form. Pick blooms often to keep flowers coming.
Plant care
Remove spent flowers before pods form to prolong flowering. To save seed, let pods dry to a papery finish before collecting in early autumn. Store seeds somewhere cool and dry. Watch for aphids and mildew, and maintain steady watering in warm spells.
