Queen of Hearts is composed of heat-tolerant antique varieties that blossom in bouquets of crimson-red, deep burgundy, magenta-rose and cream. Together, the irresistible colors make a regal blend of vivid flowers with delicate form and delicious honey-orange perfume. Soil \u0026amp; Water: Sweet peas must have well-drained soil, so dig deeply and enrich with aged manure or compost before sowing seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVariety Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eLathyrus odoratus\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Annual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrop category:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecorded feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fragrant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct format:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seed packet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSowing \u0026amp; Growing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e above 50°F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGermination:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12-28 Days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight At Maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6-8 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSun\/Shade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing After Thinning:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDirect sow Queen of Hearts Antique Sweet Pea Flower into a prepared bed during the appropriate cool-season window. Keep the seed zone moist during establishment without leaving it waterlogged, and provide support when the recorded growth habit calls for climbing space. Once plants begin flowering, inspect developing pods regularly and harvest at the size and texture preferred for the kitchen. Local temperature, soil conditions, and harvest stage can affect the time from sowing to usable pods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Growing: Sow seeds in full sun in cool early spring weather (as early as the ground can be worked).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore sowing Queen of Hearts Antique Sweet Pea Flower, review the packet alongside the current product details and note any range in temperature, germination, or maturity. Ranges reflect biological and seasonal variation rather than a fixed promise. Label each planting with its date and location, then compare emergence, growth, and harvest with local weather. This record is useful for succession plantings and for deciding whether the crop fits better into an earlier or later seasonal window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore related options in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/flower-seeds\"\u003eFlower Seeds\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Renee's Garden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21544897937521,"sku":"SWF5148","price":3.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/1391\/9089\/products\/renee-s-garden-sweet-pea-antique-queen-of-hearts.jpg?v=1747083054","url":"https:\/\/www.groworganic.mom\/products\/renee-s-garden-sweet-pea-queen-of-hearts","provider":"Grow Organic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
