Sweet pea 'Black Knight'

Pinch the top of the growing shoot out when 2 inches high to encourage stronger side shoots.
Transplant when young seedlings are about 2 inches high and after all danger of frost has passed.

Soaking seeds overnight can aid germination, although not essential.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 7.8 inches (20.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.39 inches (1.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 10°C / 50°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Black Knight about 42 days before your last frost date.

A very attractive Heirloom Grandiflora variety introduced by Eckford in 1898.
