- Species and varieties: Purple sweet pea seeds belong to the species Lathyrus odoratus. There are several varieties of purple sweet peas, including 'Cupani', 'Matucana', and 'Royal Family'. These varieties are known for their vibrant purple flowers and sweet fragrance.
- Hybrid or heirloom: Purple sweet pea seeds can be both hybrid and heirloom. Heirloom varieties like 'Cupani' and 'Matucana' are cherished for their historical significance and traditional breeding, while hybrid varieties are often bred for improved disease resistance and vigor.
- Pruning and training: Purple sweet peas benefit from regular pruning and training. Pinch off the growing tips when the plants are about 6 inches tall to encourage bushier growth. Provide support such as trellises or netting for the vines to climb. Regularly remove spent flowers to promote continuous blooming.
- Fertilization needs: Purple sweet peas require moderate fertilization. Use a balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) at planting time and then every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers.
- Hardiness zones: Purple sweet peas are best suited for USDA hardiness zones 2 through 11. They can tolerate a wide range of climates but perform best in cooler temperatures.
- Climate requirements: Purple sweet peas thrive in cool, mild climates. They prefer temperatures between 55°F and 65°F (13°C to 18°C). They require full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. In hotter climates, they may need some afternoon shade to prevent wilting.
