How to grow Pea 'Argenteum'

  • Partial Sun

  • Very High

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water very often. Keep in mind when planting that Argenteum is thought of as half hardy, so it will need cloching or fleece protection when the temperature dips. Argenteum needs a loamy soil with a ph of 5.5 to 6.5 (weakly acidic soil).

Growing Argenteum from seed

Look to ensure a distance 2.97 inches (7.62 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 0.99 inches (2.54 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 4°C / 39°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Argenteum about 35 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Argenteum

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Argenteum is a half hardy plant.
