Sweet peas growing and blooming through a rustic wooden fence.

It’s no wonder that so many people love the sight of sweet peas in their summer gardens, with their delicate flowers, stunning fragrances, and pink and purple hues. But if you’re not on board the sweet pea train just yet, you’ll be happy to know that it’s very easy to learn how to grow sweet peas from seed, and now is the perfect time to do it.

While you could bring your cottage garden idea to life by buying fully-grown sweetpeas from your local garden centre, growing your garden blooms from seed has so many benefits. Not only will this task save you money, but it’ll also allow for better variety and choice of colours while giving you the chance to tend and nurture a summer garden idea you’ve created.
