Sowing Sweet Peas
In mild winters or mild areas sow during October and over winter in cold frame,
or in cold areas sow indoors March to April 1cm deep. Chipping seeds (opposite
the eye) aids germination. For beautiful blooms throughout the flowering season try to prevent Sweet Peas from setting seed.

The cultural
information should be used as a guide only, I have found a number of different
sowing techniques for the same seed from different sources there does not seem
to be a standard. With this in mind you should use this website as a guide only,
you probably already have a tried and tested way of sowing different seeds. As a
rule of thumb the larger the seed size the more cover it requires, and fine seed
like Lobelia Begonia etc requires no cover.
