Sweet pea 'Ballerina blue'

Pinch out growing point once the second pair of leaves has opened.

Deadhead regularly to encourage blooms.

Keep in mind when planting that Ballerina blue is thought of as hardy, so this plant will survive close to or on freezing temperatures.

Soak seeds overnight in warm water before sowing.

Soil temperature should be kept higher than 20°C / 68°F to ensure good germination.

As Ballerina blue is hardy, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.
