Everything you need for your autumn planting including
this fabulous sweet pea mixture ‘Mixed Stripes’
■ Amazing sweet peas
■ Beautiful tulip bulbs
■ Soft fruit and fruit trees
■ Autumn sown vegetables
We are Britain’s biggest sweet pea producer
for the home gardener
After 130 years sweet peas are still a major part of Kings Seeds’ business with
over 150 individual colours in our main catalogue. Our company policy has also
remained the same, to provide the finest seeds, realistically priced, backed-up
by good, old-fashioned service and advice.
King’s expert, Peter Miller, gives you his tips
for growing perfect sweet peas
“ Seed sowing can begin in October, through to late February,
but I find the optimum time is early November. Sow 5 seeds
into a 7.5cm (3”) deep pot, using a good growing medium.
Keep in a cold frame, do not let the soil dry out but do not over
water. In my experience I have found that chipping and soaking
the seeds is not necessary. When the plants have grown 3 pairs
of true leaves, pinch out the tops to encourage side shoots for
the promotion of greater flower production. Harden off, prior
to planting out in early April, (weather permitting) and feed
with foliage or soil dressing at fortnightly intervals. Direct
sowings during October or March can also be made in the
flowering site.
