Mammoth Choice Mix Sweet Pea Seeds – Fragrant Climbing Flowers

Colorful Sweet Peas for Trellises and Bouquets

Mammoth Choice Mix sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus) brings large, fragrant flowers on long stems to your garden. This early-flowering climbing annual offers a rich mix of rose, pink, salmon, scarlet, white, lavender, blue, and deep burgundy.

Train the vines along a trellis near your favorite garden seat, then gather a few stems for a fresh bouquet indoors. The mix creates an informal cottage-garden display; the balance of flower colors varies between plants and packets.

Sowing and Germination

Sweet peas prefer cool growing weather. Sow outdoors in early spring when the soil can be worked, or in fall in mild-winter climates. Soak seeds for several hours or overnight before sowing to soften their hard coats.

• Sowing depth: Approximately 1/2 inch; cover the seeds
• Germination temperature: Approximately 64–68°F
• Typical germination: 14–21 days, depending on conditions
• Moisture: Keep the seedbed evenly moist without waterlogging

For indoor starts, use individual deep pots and transplant carefully to minimize root disturbance. Gradually acclimate seedlings to outdoor conditions. Install supports early so the vines have something to climb.

Growing Care

Pinch young growing tips to encourage branching. Water regularly during establishment and dry spells, and mulch around established plants to help conserve soil moisture. Protect young seedlings from slugs and bird damage.

Pick flowers frequently and remove spent blooms before seedpods form to encourage continued flowering. Bloom timing and duration vary with sowing date and climate; prolonged heat can shorten the display.

Cut-Flower Tips

Cut stems in the cool morning when the lower blossoms begin opening. Place promptly in clean water and remove foliage that would sit below the waterline.

Important: Ornamental Only

Sweet peas are not edible garden peas. Seeds and pods are toxic if eaten. Do not consume any part of the plant, and keep seeds and plants away from children and pets.
