Annual Blooms in spring. 8" - 10" mounds. Full sun.

A compact dwarf Sweet Pea, Cupid Pink has masses of pink and white bi-colored flowers. Perfect for hanging baskets, patio containers, and borders.

Cupid Pink Sweet Peas are a nice alternative for Sweet Pea lovers who don't have the space to grow vines. Cupid Pink is lightly fragrant, and looks beautiful with burgundy-foliage plants such as Coleus, Sweet Potato Vine, or Hyacinth Bean Vine. It generally blooms for 3 - 5 weeks and does not need a trellis or strings for support.

For all Sweet Peas, the bloom period depends on the weather. As temperatures warm up in summer, flower production starts to slow down. Removing all spent stalks and blooms immediately after they are done blooming will prolong the bloom period. Before planting, prepare your sight well. Choose a sunny, cool spot away from winds and heat-absorbing materials like brick and stone. A 1' - 2' deep bed that has been amended with compost or peat is ideal with the pH ranging from alkaline to neutral.

OUTDOORS: In cold climates, sow in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked. This means St. Patrick's Day or earlier. In warm climates, sow October through January for early spring bloom. INSIDE: Sow 4 - 6 weeks before planting outside (see above).

SPECIAL GERMINATION INSTRUCTIONS: Seed requires scarification, a process that helps to break the hard seed coat. Soak in water for 24 hours before planting or roll on sandpaper to slightly nick the outer surface.
