Has anyone ever planted sweet peas in pots?
+4
I'd love to have lots of sweet peas as cutting flowers this year and wondered if they do well in pots as my garden has a fabric and rock cover:( How do you provide support and what size of pot would I need?

I've seen them grown is storage containers- just drill holes in the bottom for drainage and use lattice or tomato cages with string for them to climb.. Lots of options, depending on your planting zone.

I have a huge pot on the corner of my garage that I put a trellis in or behind, depending on my mood. I plant sweet peas or morning glories in it. I even mixed the 2 one year just for a variation. The smell is intoxicating. There are drainage holes in the bottom. I'm in zone 4. Good luck and happy planting,.
