Sweet Pea Annuals
Sweet peas are fragrant annual flowers grown for their colorful blooms and exceptional scent, making them a favorite for cottage gardens and cut-flower bouquets. Gardeners love sweet peas for their long-lasting blossoms, climbing habit, and ability to add romantic charm to trellises, fences, and garden borders. This growing guide explains how sweet peas behave in the garden and how to enjoy their abundant blooms throughout the season. Sweet peas grow as climbing or trailing vines that produce delicate, winged flowers in shades of white, pink, purple, blue, and magenta. They twine easily onto trellises, arches, and supports, making them ideal for vertical gardens, cutting beds, and decorative garden structures. Their strong honey-like fragrance and steady bloom production make them especially popular for fresh bouquets and cottage-style landscapes.
