Can you grow sweet peas in Eastern Ontario?
Thank you
Yes, you should be able to. They like the sun but try to keep them from the hottest sun of mid-day, give them something to climb on and don't let them dry out. Plant some low annuals like Alyssum at the bottom to keep their roots cool. I have had lots of success growing them in south-central Ontario. They are easy to grow and are beautiful! Good luck 🙂
Do you cut sweet peas back to ground for winter
Hi Christine, Thanks for your question.
With perennial sweet peas, you will want to cut your plant back to the ground in winter. If you are in a location with frost, it is best to cut it back anytime after the first frost. If not, you can leave it to provide some winter shelter and then cut it back before new growth appears in the spring. Hope this helps!
