Xeramtheum said:I tried for a couple of years starting the seeds in late October - they did great until the night time temperatures were in the 70's then they curled up and died. I finally gave up. I think Zone 8 is just too warm for these guys.

We have a sweet pea vendor here in town Enchanting Sweet Peas so they do very well in zone 9. We just don't have the warm nights and humidity so that may be the difference.
