We’re teaming up with Kings Seeds to bring you the company’s Autumn Seed Catalogue 2025!
King’s Seeds is Britain’s biggest sweet pea producer for the home gardener. After over 130 years, sweet peas are still a major part of Kings Seeds’ business, with a wide range of individual colours in its main catalogue. The company policy has also remained the same, to provide the finest seeds, realistically priced, backed-up by good, old-fashioned service and advice.
“Seed sowing can begin in October, through to late February, but I find the optimum time is early November. Sow 5 seeds into a 7.5cm (3”) deep pot, using a good growing medium,” says King’s expert, Peter Miller, who gives his tips for growing perfect sweet peas. “Keep in a cold frame, do not let the soil dry out but do not over water. In my experience I have found that chipping and soaking the seeds is not necessary. When the plants have grown 3 pairs of true leaves, pinch out the tops to encourage side shoots for the promotion of greater flower production. Harden off, prior to planting out in early April, (weather permitting) and feed with foliage or soil dressing at fortnightly intervals. Direct sowings during October or March can also be made in the flowering site.”
