In this video I show how to pinch back sweet peas to encourage bushy healthy plants and also how to divide and plant them out to get the most from your plants. Pinching back of sweet peas more than doubles the number of stems and encourages stronger growth. Whilst separating the sweet peas and planting them individually gives them more space to grow and allows the plants to grow much larger by the end of summer. Doing so you only need to buy a pot or two of sweet pea seedlings to cover the same area as 10 pots of undivided sweet pea plants.
