Can you grow sweet peas to hang down without any support?
you should harden off if they are in side, they will hang down alright but as they get big you will need to put some stones over roots to hold them there
Reply:I have grown sweet peas in hanging baskets and in window boxes and they will hang nicely. I have had 4 or 5 foot long tendrils come out of window boxes. You can plant sweet peas this time of year as they like cooler weather.





If you want them to run down a wall you will have to use fencing or netting and use little twistie ties to force them the direction you want.
Reply:it should work but wait a little while longer before putting out and acclimatise first, you can also get trailing varieties which would work.
Reply:You can try - they have an upward growing habit, but it could work. I'd be interested in hearing about your results.
