Sweet peas are beautiful vines, but they need cool soil to germinate. I planted
my seeds last week. Up on Long Island, USDA Zone 6b-7a, you can plant them a
month before last frost. Sometimes if the soil is a little too cool, the seeds
can rot. If you have a Kmart near you, Martha Stewart seeds has excellent
selections of sweet peas. Her seeds are also 40% off.

Caryn, there is an EXCELLENT article with sources for seeds AND plants and
some fine tips in the new issue of Garden Design. It has a close up of a
BLUE sweet pea on it............(it's also the Feb/Mar issue) well worth the
investment.
Hope this helps
