Hi gardeners,
I hope that everyone is enjoying the beginning of spring!
Could any of you guys tell me where I can find information on trailing sweetpeas for hanging baskets? Are they different from the regular ones ?LoL

This website is the best I've found for sweet pea info. It recommends 'Little Sweatheart' and 'Bijou' types for baskets.

I bought for planting this year Burpee Seed Co Eckfords finest mix[many colors] and Captain of the Blues both described as very fragrant free flowering ideal for fences trellis and cascading from a basket annual 4 feet.

I have not grown these so don't know if they will cascade as advertised or not. I tried regular climbing ones in a basket once and they turned out messy looking because they kept curling up. I hope they will trail but I am kinda suspicious of the double description these have. Burpee Seed is a respected co so maybe these will do both. Ernie
