Albutt Blue Sweet Pea produces delicate, icy-colored blooms with a robust and delicious aroma that rises from surprisingly diminutive flowers. These tall climbers reach 72 to 96 inches and demand full sun, flowering within 75 to 85 days of sowing. This is a non-edible ornamental variety, grown purely for its alluring visual presence and fragrance in the garden. Start seeds indoors three months before your last spring frost and transplant about six weeks before that date to catch the cool growing season these flowers prefer.

No timeline data available yet for this variety.
Sow seeds indoors in a chilly, semi-protected spot approximately three months before your last spring frost. This timing allows seedlings to develop enough before transplanting.
Transplant seedlings outdoors about six weeks before your last spring frost, moving them into full sun with 8 inches between plants and 36 inches between rows.
Cut flowers frequently as they open to maximize bloom production and prolong the flowering season. Harvest in the early morning when blooms are fully open, cutting stems at least 6 inches long to enjoy in indoor arrangements.
Harvest flowers often throughout the growing season to encourage more blooms and extend flowering. Removing spent blossoms prevents seed pod development and redirects the plant's energy into continuous flower production.
