Description
Perfect for displaying on patios, decks or in small space gardens. Cupid is a very fragrant heirloom, bush sweet pea, that looks particularly lovely planted in containers or hanging baskets. Cupid’s short vines grow 8-10 in. tall, then flower in gracefully cascading stems of rose-pink, picotee edged blossoms. These old fashioned beauties have an ambrosial sweet pea scent that perfumes the air around them.
Planting Instructions
Seed as early as weather permits in spring. Make a trench 3 in. deep. Drop 3-4 seeds per foot of row. Cover seed with 1 in. of soil. The seed can be soaked for quicker germination, but must be placed in cool, moist soil when seeding. Once plants are through soil cover with another 1 in. of soil and repeat until trench is level with ground. Thin plants to 6 in. apart. Support with netting, fence or lattice work. Sweet peas like an airy location to help prevent mildew. Fertilize every 2 weeks with 10-52-17 and liquid seaweed for strong healthy plants. For best results use Nature’s Aid Legume Inoculant, an organic non-chemical product which enhances root growth and yield.
