Product description
The Sweet Pea Tall mix provides a complete, traditional spectrum of classic Spencer-type climbing sweet peas, designed to turn bare vertical boundaries into a massive living wall of vibrant colour and relentless fragrance. Reaching heights of up to two metres, this highly vigorous mix produces an abundance of long, strong cutting stems carrying heavily ruffled blooms in pinks, crimsons, whites, blues, and lavenders. It is the ultimate high-impact choice for creating a highly active, pollinator-friendly backdrop for your patio displays.
This mix requires a heavy-duty vertical support system, such as securely anchored netting or solid wooden trellising, set in a full sun position. Fill their deep containers with heavy, rich loam compost and commit to a strict daily drenching routine to compensate for the massive amount of water lost through their extensive leafy canopy. Feed the vines every ten days with a high-potassium liquid fertilizer to ensure they have the structural fuel required to keep pushing out fresh, highly scented buds until the end of summer.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
To keep the Sweet Pea Tall mix blooming until September, apply a high-potash liquid feed every 10 days. This provides the extra fuel needed to maintain such a massive, vertical floral display.
How to Water
A regular, heavy watering schedule is mandatory for the Sweet Pea Tall mix. They transpire a lot of moisture through their large leaf surface area. Aim to keep the root zone cool and consistently hydrated throughout the peak summer months.
How to Plant
Plant your Sweet Pea Tall mix against a trellis or wigwam in a sun-drenched part of the garden. They need deep, fertile soil and plenty of vertical space to scramble upward. Ensure the supports are strong enough to hold a heavy wall of summer vines.
