Anyone know a reliable source- catalogue or online for these? Local nurseries rarely have them in six-packs, but I never seem to go to the nurseries when they have them in stock. If anyone is growing them and can send seed, I'll be happy to send another old variety I grow in exchange.
Thanks for those sources. I'll order some from one of them. Next question- when should I order seeds, and when should I plant them in coastal central California?
I live in New York City, but from what I understand sweet peas are sown in the fall for winter bloom in California; when exactly is the best time in your area I don't know. I remember reading somewhere that sweet peas will not set buds when the days are short, so you might want to take this into account. I have heard of short day sweet peas, DiGiorgi used to carry them. These are grown in greenhouses for the cut flower trade, I don't know if they do well in the garden. Good Luck.
