Sweet Peas from today. A mass of them. The scent is heady, strong, sweet.....
I grow them in the front and back yards all in a mass. These are Knee Hi Sweet Peas, because they stay short and in a mass, instead of growing up on vines. They like sun, lots of it, and a protected spot, and lots of water to keep them happy but not waterlogged.
It looks like a wild mess, but that's the best part. You can also grow them in nice big containers, if you wish, for something tidier. I like the mess of flowers. When people walk by, they always comment on the scent.
Some of the sweet peas in the grouping are the Vine Sweet Peas, adn I stuff them into the ground to grow up on rose bushes, or sunflowers.
Others I put into hanging baskets, and they grow up on the chains. But I love the mass of sweet peas in the ground. They tend to be stronger and able to produce more blooms. Make sure you pick them daily, to encourage more flowers.
