| Hi I planted some sweat peas in Feb. and they just started blooming in the greenhouse. I would like to use them as a cut flower for my wedding but I am not sure if they will keep blooming that long. Are there any tricks to keeping them blooming? |

| You may have to sweat the sweet peas. Eight weeks is probably more than you could expect them to last in bloom. This is especially true as temperatures rise. I'd plan for something else. |

| No, not at all. You should have them by that time easily. Do not let them get too hot and be sure to pick the blossoms frequently. The more you pick the more you get; otherwise they think it is time to make seeds and will no longer bloom. |
