Sweet Pea Plant. If planting directly on the ground, sow in fall at 2 inches deep with 6 to 12 inches plant spacing. Sweet peas can also be sown direct into the ground in april or may.

Plant sweet pea seeds in autumn or spring. In the tropics and subtropics, sow sweet peas later still in may. Plant your sweet peas out in a bright sunny spot in the garden that’s easily accessible for regular picking.
