Sweet Pea 'Tickled Pink'
A fistful of sweet peas- there's nothing better. This is an ‘Old-Fashioned’ sweet pea.
The most delicate sweet pea we grew this year- Tickled Pink. Long, strong stems but with the daintiest flowers that start out with almost translucent apricot buds that grow in saturation to a pretty shell pink.
Best sown under cover in autumn to get the biggest, most productive plants. Plant out in spring. Or sow under cover from January and then plant out in the spring.
The young plants can handle a light cold-spell but do protect from hard frosty temperatures. Pinch out the growing tips at 6" tall to encourage bushier growth and more flowers. No need to pinch Autumn sown sweet peas.
Hardy Annual
Aspect: Full Sun
Spacing: 8 inches apart
Days to Maturity: 75-90 approx
Height: climber 5-8ft
