Add some sweetness to your life

Copy: Sweet peas would have to be one of my favourite plants to have in the garden. They are super simple to grow. They smell fantastic – if you plant the scented variety. They look amazing. And they make great cut flowers. In my opinion, you really can’t go wrong by planting sweet peas.

This lovely addition to your garden can be grown from seeds. But I prefer to plant seedlings. Getting seeds to flowering stage can be a bit hit and miss. When you purchase Awapuni Nurseries seedlings all the hard work of getting the seeds to germinate and grow into established seedlings has already
been taken care of. This means they’re pretty much guaranteed to grow, and they’ll develop faster – resulting in earlier flowers.

At Awapuni we sell three varieties of sweet peas. The dwarf mixed variety produces plants that grow to about 30-40cm and is perfect for growing in borders, bedding and pots. The fragrant beauty variety has a fantastic fragrance, grows to around 120-180cm and climbs or trails well on walls or
trellises. And while all three varieties make great cut flowers, our specific cut flower mixed variety also grows to a height of around 120-180cm and produces extra good blooms perfect for taking inside and placing in a vase.

Grab your sweet pea seedlings from your local supermarket, The Warehouse or Bunnings.
