Unwins Sweet Pea Continental Mix Seeds are a dwarf variety that’s excellent for container planting. This more compact in habit variety provides a carpet of colour and has the same charm and fragrance as taller varieties. This mix is medium flowered and lower growing.
They are also great for beds and borders in all areas of your garden. When these seeds have fully grown, they will certainly add some drama to the landscape.

Sow Indoors: Jan to Apr
Sow Outdoors: Sep to Oct
Flowering: May to Aug
Pre-Sowing
Place the seeds on moist kitchen roll in an airtight container and leave in a warm room, then sow as soon as they begin to swell or sprout. Alternatively, soak overnight, but sow immediately afterwards.
Sowing Indoors
Sow singly in rootrainers or 8cm pots, 1cm deep. Water after sowing, but not again until seedlings have emerged. Keep around 15°C until germinated.
Growing On / Planting Out
Pinch out tips once seedlings are 7–10cm tall to encourage bushier growth and more flowers. Keep in a cool but bright position. Keep autumn-sown seedlings in a cold frame or greenhouse, or under a cloche. Plant out 20cm apart from late March onwards when the weather is getting milder, in a sunny position. Avoid disturbing the roots.
Sowing Outdoors
Sow seeds in pre-watered, compost-enriched soil 2cm deep, around 7cm apart, once the soil is starting to warm in spring. Keep soil moist until seedlings emerge and thin to about 20cm apart once they are more developed.
Aftercare
No need to provide support—allow to grow naturally. Ideal for pots. Feed and water regularly, and pick flowers often to ensure a continuous supply.
