Add some sweetness to your
life
Copy: Sweet peas would have to be one of my
favourite plants to have in the garden. They are super
simple to grow. They smell fantastic – if you plant the
scented variety. They look amazing. And they make great cut
flowers. In my opinion, you really can’t go wrong by
planting sweet peas.
This lovely addition to your garden
can be grown from seeds. But I prefer to plant seedlings.
Getting seeds to flowering stage can be a bit hit and miss.
When you purchase Awapuni Nurseries seedlings all the hard
work of getting the seeds to germinate and grow into
established seedlings has already
been taken care of.
This means they’re pretty much guaranteed to grow, and
they’ll develop faster – resulting in earlier
flowers.
At Awapuni we sell three varieties of sweet peas.
The dwarf mixed variety produces plants that grow to about
30-40cm and is perfect for growing in borders, bedding and
pots. The fragrant beauty variety has a fantastic fragrance,
grows to around 120-180cm and climbs or trails well on walls
or
trellises. And while all three varieties make great
cut flowers, our specific cut flower mixed variety also
grows to a height of around 120-180cm and produces extra
good blooms perfect for taking inside and placing in a
vase.
Grab your sweet pea seedlings from your local supermarket, The Warehouse or Bunnings.
