A sweet pea teepee can create the most stunning scented spectacle in a backyard – learn how to make your own in 5 simple steps

How to make a sweet pea teepee.

Sweet peas are some of the most fragrant cut flowers to bloom in summer. Not only do their wide range of vibrant and pastel hues make for stunning arrangements, but their foliage and wispy tendrils are just as enchanting. But, growing them to display in vases isn't the only way to make the most of these charming blooms; you can also make a sweet pea teepee for a floral spectacle in your yard.

It's best to grow sweet peas from seed in fall or early spring before planting out seedlings in mid-spring. This is the perfect opportunity to train your sweet pea seedlings to climb a tent-like structure, eventually blossoming into a teepee for you to sit under and take in their glorious scents throughout the summer months.
