How to prune spencer mixed sweet pea

Pinch seedlings in early spring; deadhead continuously throughout the flowering season. Pinch the central shoot just above a leaf node at 10–15 cm tall to promote side shoots. During flowering, cut spent blooms back to the nearest leaf with scissors or snips before any seed pods swell.

Daily deadheading during flowering season; single pinch at the seedling stage. Sweet peas need regular deadheading and pinching to stay productive. Pinch out the growing tip when seedlings reach 10–15 cm to encourage bushy growth and more flower stems. Once flowering begins, pick blooms daily — even a single seed pod forming signals the plant to stop producing flowers entirely.
