Snap pea 'Bikini'

Bikini likes a position of full sun and remember to water very often. Keep in mind when planting that Bikini is thought of as half hardy, so it will need cloching or fleece protection when the temperature dips. Bikini requires a loamy soil with a ph of 5.5 - 6.5 - it grows best in weakly acidic soil.

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 Bikini about 42 days before your last frost date.

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