The navy blue petals deliver a striking depth of color that catches the eye from across the garden. These sweet peas hit their stride in early summer and keep flowering until mid-July, giving you weeks of harvestable blooms. They're simple to grow from seed sown directly into the ground, and their vigor makes them reliable performers even for newer gardeners.
King Size Navy Blue Sweet is grown primarily as a cut flower. Harvest the blooms in the morning when petals are just opening and flowers are at their freshest, then bring them indoors for arrangements and bouquets that brighten any room.
Direct sow seeds into the garden as soon as soil warms to at least 55°F in early spring, around the same timing you would plant garden peas. To improve germination, rub the seed with sandpaper and soak it for one hour in warm water (110°F) to soften the seed coat before planting.
Harvest flowers in the morning when they are freshest and petals are just beginning to open. Use a clean knife dipped in a 10% household bleach solution to cut the stems. Place fresh-cut flowers in a vase with a few drops of bleach in the water to prolong their beauty and vase life.
