Light SweetpeaSole pieno
These plants have an annual development, therefore when it becomes cold they deteriorate, and get completely eradicated. We suggest to position the the Sweetpea in a sunny spot at least a few hours a day.We advise cultivating the the Sweetpea outdoors, since it doesn't fear cold temperatures.

Fertilize Sweetpea
Annual plants have a quite vigorous development and need, during the spring, a continuous fertilization; when placing them let’s add some humus or mature manure or some slow release granular fertilizer to the ground. During the spring months we suggest mixing some fertilizer for flowering plants to the irrigating water every 20-30 days.

Cultivation Sweetpea
These plants are climbers, therefore they grow leaning against supports of all types. The Sweetpea have a one or two year development cycle. The Sweetpea is medium in size and 2 m in height; in the summer it assumes a purple colouring. These plants aren't evergreens, which means they lose their leaves some months during the year.

Water SweetpeaTenere asciutto
Water sporadically, with 2-3 glasses of water , leaving the soil dry for a few days before watering again; when watering we suggest avoiding excesses, but to wet the substratum well. Let's act every 1-2 weeks . As the cold weather arrives, in autumn, usually waterings is interrupted because these plants can't bear harsh temperatures.

Pests Sweetpea
Generally during this time of year we suggest a pre-emptive treatment with wide range insecticide and with a systemic fungicide, to prevent the attack from part of the aphids and the development of fungus diseases, often favoured by a mild and damp climate.

Mold Sweetpea
We advise locating these annual plants in a dissolved soil, with an elevated drainage.
