Blue Velvet Sweet Peas display exceptionally deep purple-blue ruffled flowers, so dark that they almost shimmer black in the Summer sunlight, emitting an enchanting perfume. With sturdy stems boasting 6 to 7 flowers each, they are particularly well-suited as cut flowers.
These sweet peas can reach a height of up to 6 feet, making them an excellent climbing variety for walls and trellises. Their spread extends from 3 to 6 feet wide, adding to their appeal as a vibrant and expansive floral display.
Please note seeds are poisonous if ingested.

Sowing & Growing
Plant the seeds 1/2 inch deep in moist soil. Before starting you can try and aid germination chances by soaking seeds in water for 24 hours; expect germination in 14 to 28 days. When transplanting, handle seedlings individually into 3-inch pots, always gripping by the leaf, not the stem.
If sown in Autumn, overwinter the plants in a light, cool location. Harden them off before planting out once the risk of frost has passed, typically from mid-March through May. Pinch out tips when seedlings develop 4 pairs of leaves.
As a climbing variety, these plants benefit from support such as canes or trellis. They thrive in full sun to light shade and produce blooms from June through October, attracting butterflies to your garden.
