Product Details
Aptly named, Mammoth sweet peas have extra-large flowers with lengthy stems—perfect for cutting! The subtle, sweet scent is delightful, too. Developed in the 1980s from Early Multiflora Gigantea, a Spencer-type sweet pea, this variety boasts drought and heat resistance, which results in a longer season of blooms. Attracts pollinators. Deer resistant. Caution: Most parts of this plant are toxic if ingested.

Beautiful blooms just not in every color .

Thank you so much for this fantastic 5-star review of the Mammoth Blend Sweet Pea Seeds! It's wonderful to hear that you followed the sowing instructions and got those beautiful blooms - that's exactly what we love to see!
I totally understand the mixed feelings about not getting every single color in the blend. Sweet pea blends can sometimes be a bit unpredictable in terms of which colors decide to show up strongest in any given growing season. Sometimes certain colors in the mix are just more dominant or quicker to establish than others, even though they're all in there.
It sounds like you did everything right with your sowing technique though, and those beautiful blooms you're enjoying are proof of your great gardening skills! Sweet peas are such rewarding flowers to grow when they take off like yours have.
Thanks for sharing your experience with the Mammoth Blend - it really helps other gardeners know what to expect!
Keep on growing 🌻️

I planted both packages of seeds & had very few come up. I presoaked them as instructions indicated. Attaching a picture of what terminated. Expected more of the seeds to take hold because of the better quality of t he seeds.

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your experience with the Mammoth Blend Sweet Pea Seeds—we really appreciate your honest feedback, and it sounds like you followed all the right steps with the presoaking.
We're sorry to hear that you didn't see the germination rate you were expecting from both packages. Sweet pea germination can sometimes be influenced by a few different factors beyond the seed quality—things like soil temperature, moisture levels, planting depth, and even the age of the soil can all play a role in how well seeds take hold.
That said, we definitely want to make sure you get the results you're looking for. We'd love to take a closer look at your situation and see how we can help ensure your next planting experience goes more smoothly.
We really value customers like you who give us detailed feedback—it helps us continue to improve. Thanks again for sharing your experience with us.
Keep on growing 🌻

I sowed 3 seeds each at the base of 4 canes in Miracle-Gro Organic Choice Potting Mix with Compost in a container. Almost all germinated. Then one by one they ALL started to fall over like this and die. All of them. What happened? I've never had this much trouble growing seeds- aren't supposed to be sweet peas fairly easy to grow? What am I doing wrong? Can someone from Botanical Interests respond and help me understand what happened?

I sowed three seeds at the base of four canes in nice, loose, organic potting soil in a container. Almost all germinated. Then one by one they started to fall over like this and die. I've never had such problems growing from seed- and these should be easy to grow. What happened? too much water? Disappointing- these were going to be flanking an entrance as part of a composition of plants there.

I think I might have waited too long to direct sow the sweet pea. It might get too hot before it blooms. It is growing much slower than my snap peas.
