Sweet pea seeds have a relatively hard seed coat. Some gardeners soak them briefly before sowing to help water enter the seed, while others sow them directly into moist soil. Follow the supplier's instructions, and avoid soaking seeds for too long because they may rot.
Climbing sweet pea varieties benefit from a trellis, netting, or another suitable support. Their tendrils help them climb as they grow. Check the expected mature height of your variety and install the support early to avoid disturbing established roots.
Sweet peas generally perform best in cool growing conditions and may flower poorly when temperatures become too hot. In warmer regions, sowing during the coolest suitable season, providing adequate moisture, and offering some afternoon shade may help. Choose planting dates based on your local climate and the cultivar's recommendations.
