Fertilization 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.

Generalities Sweetpea
The Sweetpea have a one or two year development cycle. The Sweetpea is medium in size and 90 cm in height; in the spring, summer, autumn, winter it assumes a pink colouring. These plants aren't evergreens, which means they lose their leaves some months during the year. These plants are climbers, therefore they grow leaning against supports of all types.

Watering SweetpeaTenere asciutto
As the cold weather arrives, in autumn, usually waterings is interrupted because these plants can't bear harsh temperatures. Water rarely, about once every 1-2 weeks with 2-3 glasses of water , keeping the soil dry for a few days before watering again; when wetting we suggest avoiding surpluses, however to wet the soil deep down.

Treatments 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.

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