How Many Sweet Peas?
 

Approximately how many sweet peas should be planted at the base of a willow
obelisk? The obelisk is 1.5 metres tall and is just the standard type that
you get from B&Q, etc.

Thanks.

We put three plants at the base of each 'leg' and it makes a fabulous
display.

Blimey, 12 plants per obelisk. I'd best run out to the greenhouse now and
get sowing more! I just bought 3 obelisks (they were on sale), and I have
aleady sowed (or should that be "sown"?) 40 seeds but I want some to grow up
the fence too.

Regards.

You could probably get away with less but that really does look wonderful.
And seeds aren't that expensive. ;-) I often look at seed packets and
think of the terrific value and beauty sealed up in a little envelope!

Whoops! Meant to say ours are 3 legged cone shapes, so you might get away
with less plants - I'm not sure.
