Sweet Pea - America The sweet pea prefers deep, rich, fertile soil. The blooming period depends partially upon the weather because the plants usually stop blooming once the weather warms up. The America is very fragrant and is a summer bloomer. Position them away from winds and rotate locations from year to year to prevent sweet pea pests. In warm climates, plant in October through January for spring bloom. Plant this sweet pea in full sun, but in a cool a spot as possible. The crimson stripes on the soft white petal look like an exotic butterfly perched on a stem. They are used for cut flowers and for covering fences and walls if given the proper support. The Sweet Pea America, 'Lathyrus odoratus', is a very old heirloom sweet pea traced back to 1896. The America will take a little more heat and bloom longer into the summer. Use lots of peat or compost for early spring planting.
