Light lilac colored blooms. In our trials, Elegance Lavender is typically a few days later than other colors in the series. Developed for flowering under short days, low light conditions, and in cool greenhouses. Suitable for spring or midwinter production. Long stems bear 3–5 blooms. Formerly called Winter Elegance. Can be spelled either as sweet pea or sweetpea.
DAYS TO GERMINATION:
14-21 days at 55-65°F (13-18°C). To aid germination, seeds can be presoaked for 24 hours in room temperature water prior to planting.
SOWING:
Transplant (recommended) - Sow 1/4- 1/2" deep (darkness is required for germination) into 72-cell flats or preferred deep-cell seedling container 4-5 weeks before planting out. Direct seed - 2–3 seeds every 6", ¼–½" deep. Seedlings can tolerate a light frost. Pinch when 6-8" tall to encourage denser branching and more flowers. Trellis support is required. Thin seedlings as needed, once first true leaves appear.
