sweet pea 'Kiera Madeline'

Plant out seedlings 20-30cm apart after the final spring frost in well-drained but moisture-retentive humus-rich soil in full sun or very light dappled shade, and provide support. See sweetpea cultivation

For a long and regular supply of blooms, cut flowers frequently, before they produce seed pods

Propagate by seed: in milder areas sow during autumn, and overwinter the young plants in a cold frame or unheated glasshouse, or in colder areas sow in late March or April; plant out after the final spring frost

May be affected by aphids, slugs and snails

May be affected by powdery mildews, Fusarium wilt and sweet pea viruses
