This is a great little gift set that includes everything you will need to grow your own crop of sweet peas. These much-loved annual climbers produce their (often highly scented) flowers in summer, and if these are picked regularly for the vase, it will encourage even more to form.

Sweet pea flowers are an annual flowering plant that is known for its colorful and fragrant blooms. Growing sweet peas can be a rewarding and enjoyable experience, but it requires some planning and care to achieve the best results.

Here are some general steps to grow sweet pea flowers:

1. Choosing the right location: Sweet pea plants require full sun to partial shade to grow their best, and the location should have well-draining soil with good air circulation.
2. Planting the seeds: Sweet pea seeds should be sown in the early spring or late fall. They should be sown directly into the soil about 1 inch deep and 2-3 inches apart.
3. Watering: Water the sweet pea plants regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
4. Fertilizing: Sweet peas require regular fertilization to thrive. Use a balanced fertilizer every two weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth and blooming.
5. Supporting the plants: Sweet peas are climbing plants and need support to grow properly. Install a trellis or other support structure for the plants to climb.
6. Harvesting the flowers: Once the sweet pea flowers have bloomed, they can be harvested for use in floral arrangements. Be sure to harvest the blooms regularly to encourage new growth.

Overall, growing sweet pea flowers requires consistent care and attention, but the beautiful and fragrant blooms are well worth the effort. With proper planning and care, sweet peas can provide an abundance of colorful and aromatic flowers that will add charm and beauty to any garden or floral display.
