How & when to plant Soak the seeds 12 to 24 hours, then sow 1 inch deep and 4 to 6 inches apart in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked, or in fall where winters are mild. Sweet peas sprout in 10 to 20 days in cool soil. Our Bijou Mix sweet pea growing guide has all the details. Growing & care Give Bijou full sun and rich, well-drained soil, and keep it evenly watered. Mulch to keep the roots cool. The plants are self-supporting, though a few short twigs help in windy spots. Deadhead or cut regularly so the plants keep producing instead of setting seed. Harvest Cut the short stems for posies and small vases when the lowest flower on the stem opens. Regular picking keeps the blooms coming through late spring and early summer. Sweet pea seeds and pods are not edible. Benefits & uses Bijou Mix brings true sweet pea fragrance to pots, hanging baskets, edging, and raised beds.
