How do I encourage my sweet pea plants to flower?

Our Advice:

Sweet peas require plenty of sunlight and regular fertilization to promote flowering. Use a balanced fertiliser with equal parts nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, and apply it every two weeks during the growing season. Deadheading spent blooms can also encourage the plants to produce more flowers.
