Sweet pea Pink Cupid (Lathyrus odoratus) is a charming variety that stands out with its compact, bushy habit and beautifully scented flowers. It forms dense, rounded clumps that reach about 20-30 cm in height and are covered with small pink and white blooms with a sweet fragrance. With its neat shape, it is ideal for pots, containers, and hanging baskets, where it creates rich, flowering displays. Its long and generous flowering season means you can enjoy both colour and perfume throughout the summer.

Sowing depth

Sow Pink Cupid sweet pea seeds at a depth of 3-4 cm. This helps them germinate evenly and supports strong, healthy young plants.

When to sow outdoors

Sow directly outdoors from March to May, once the soil has warmed and there is no frost. During this period the seeds germinate quickly. For best results, choose a sunny, warm spot with free draining soil that stays lightly moist.

When to sow under cover

Sow under cover in pots from February to April. Earlier sowing helps you raise particularly strong, well developed plants and is a good option if you want flowers from the first days of summer.

Spacing

Keep spacing of around 15 x 20 cm. This gives the plants enough light, airflow, and room to develop, resulting in dense clumps and very abundant flowering.

Flowering time

Sweet pea Pink Cupid flowers from June to September. Its soft pastel blooms in shades of pink and white add lightness and freshness to any setting, making it a lovely choice for summer flower arrangements.

Growing tips

Pink Cupid grows best in a sunny position sheltered from strong wind. It prefers fertile soil that is moderately moist, well loosened, and neutral to slightly alkaline. Before sowing, soak the seeds for 24 hours in lukewarm water, as this simple step speeds up germination. Regular watering and removing faded flowers encourage the plant to keep forming new buds. With a little care, this easy variety rewards you with long, full flowering through the whole summer.
