Its ancestry can be traced to the first wild sweet peas from Sicily named for Father Francis Cupani, the Italian monk who discovered and sent them back to England in the 17th century. These intensely perfumed, beautifully bicolored flowers have petals of deep maroon-purple and orchid-violet. The fragrance of these classic simple blossoms truly wafts in the air, delighting every passerby. \r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cspan class=\"hide-new-pp\"\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Water:\u003c\/b\u003eSweet peas must have well-drained soil, so dig deeply and enrich with aged manure or compost before sowing seeds. Water well and mulch as vines grow. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Growing:\u003c\/b\u003eSow seeds in full sun in cool early spring weather (as early as the ground can be worked). In mild winter climates, where the ground does not freeze, sweet peas can be planted in the fall. Erect a well-anchored trellis, fence, or vertical netting for these climbing vines before planting seeds. Seedlings will form strong root systems, then overwinter to bloom vigorously in the spring. Plant seeds 1\" deep and 2 - 3\" apart. When seedlings are 2\" tall, thin to 4-5\" apart to allow plants room to mature.\r\nSweet peas bloom best before the weather gets too hot. Where summer heat comes on fast, they'll appreciate a spot with afternoon shade. Anchor supports well as vies will grow heavy with bloom. Protect seedlings from birds, slugs, and snails. For longest bloom, pick flowers often and keep faded blossoms cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n \r\n\u003c\/span\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cb\u003eSoil Temperature: \u003c\/b\u003eabove 50°F\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003ePlanting Depth: \u003c\/b\u003e1\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eGermination: \u003c\/b\u003e10-14 Days\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eHeight At Maturity: \u003c\/b\u003e6-8 feet\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eSun\/Shade: \u003c\/b\u003eFull Sun\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eSpacing After Thinning: \u003c\/b\u003e4-5\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eApprox Seeds per Pack: \u003c\/b\u003eApprox. 35-40 Seeds","brand":"Renee's Garden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49535673565412,"sku":"SWF5152","price":0.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/0290\/0196\/files\/renee-s-garden-sweet-pea-cupani-s-original-heirloom_da914d67-ce81-4bba-8532-be28c927b0d9.jpg?v=1785401563","url":"https:\/\/groworganics.shop\/products\/cupani-s-original-sweet-pea-flower-seeds-sgkfs9","provider":"Westbridge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
