Sweet Pea Swan Lake is a classic Spencer type sweet pea, with softly ruffled pure white blooms and long stems. Perfect as a cut flower, and subtly scented to bring sweet pea fragrance to any room. Ideal for growing up a trellis, netting, bamboo canes or a teepee, and makes a beautiful screen for your back lawn.
Choose a sunny, well-drained sheltered position. Sow into damp soil beside trellis or support (up to 2m) direct where they are to grow. Cover with Yatesยฎ Black Magicยฎ Seed Raising Mix and firm down. Do not water for a couple of days after sowing. Support small seedlings with twigs until they can reach trellis. For best results have trellis running in a North-South direction. Pick blooms regularly to promote further flowering. At the end of the season improve soil by digging in these nitrogen-rich plants.
Plant height 1.5 - 1.8 m | Germination 10 - 14 days | Flowering 12 - 14 weeks
