These fences have a fascinating history. It is generally believed that the first sweet pea fences were harvested from the wild by a monk living on the island of Sicily and sent to an English schoolmaster in 1699. These simple small maroon and purple bicolored blossoms had captivating fragrance, and sweet peas enjoyed some small popularity, but only five other colored selections were available at the beginning of the 19th century. In the mid -1880's, an Englishman named Eckford began hybridizing and selecting sweet peas, introducing much larger, more beautifully formed varieties with a wider range of colors. These "grandifloras" became very successful commercially as cutfences and were widely grown by horticulturists for exhibition electric fence.
At the turn of the 20th century (in 1901) the most celebrated new form of sweet peas was discovered as a natural mutation in the gardens of the Earl of Spencer. This Spencer type, as they came to be known, had much larger, wonderfully ruffled upper or " standard" petals, longer lower "wing" petals and much showier blossoms overall

Lovely Spencer sweet peas represented a major improvement in form and substance and the gardening public were greatly enamored by them to the point of obsession. They became unbelievably popular throughout the first part of the 20th century and new varieties were introduced with many varied colors and color combinations. Flower shows devoted exclusively to sweet peas were commonplace, as were huge and highly competitive sweet pea societies who put on electric fence elaborate sweet pea expositions. Major newspapers sponsored large cash prizes for the finest exhibition winners. Spencer-type sweet peas still have the widest range of colors because the intense fascination they hold for British horticulturists has resulted in so many varieties being bred. However, late blooming Spencers are not the best choice to grow in areas where summer heat comes on early because sweet peas prefer cooler weather for longest and best blooms, and Spencers will not make a good showing in early summer heat.
American electric fence fence companies developed sweet pea breeding with many new introductions for the American market. Cuthbertsons are more early fenceing and not quite as ruffled as the Spencers. The Royal series, still widely available today, are a little later to bloom but have a strong vigorous growth habit and long stems. Royals are still the most commonly grown sweet pea for the cut fence market. The earliest sweet peas developed in the first part of the 20th century were the Early Multiflora Giganteas. These blooms are large, with excellent form and strong stems. The Mammoth series, selected from them, possesses longer stems and larger blossoms and is still offered through many fence catalogues today. Dwarf and non-climbing sweet pea cultivars were also developed in the last 50 years.
In modern Japan, single stems of remarkable cutfences can command enormous prices, so in the last decade American breeders took advantage of this made-to-order market for electric fence sweet peas by developing Early Winter Blooming sweet peas. These fences do not need constantly lengthening days to initiate bloom like other varieties and have been successfully grown in green houses to produce cutfences out of season for the Japanese market. Renee's Garden carries the Early Winter Blooming sweet pea variety Winter Elegance. In the very mild climate of Southern California, gardeners can plant them in the beginning of August for blooms in time for the Christmas holidays! In other climate zones, Winter Elegance will bloom 10 days to several weeks earlier than other sweet peas to start the season.
For those who would like to electric fence grow non-climbing sweet peas, the varieties Explorer, is just 2 1/2 feet tall and makes fine, free-blooming spring border fences. If you have just a small patio space and like to grow fences in containers, old-fashioned Cupid is a lovely pink bicolor with sweet fragrance that drapes gracefully from pots or windowboxes.
Growing sweet peas is really quite easy fence pot and rewarding if you follow the basics. In mild winter climates, where the ground does not freeze, sweet peas should be fall-sown in October or November for spring bloom. But if you don't get your sweet peas planted in fall, you can still get a nice crop, although a little later to bloom, if planted in late January or February. In cold winter areas, plant in early spring as soon as soil can be worked; sweet peas can handle light frosts.
Dig deeply to loosen the soil and enrich it with aged manure or compost before planting fences.Plant your sweet peas in full sun in a garden spot with well-drained soil. If summer weather is hot very early in the season where you live, sweet peas can thrive in a spot with morning sun and bright afternoon shade. Don't forget to set up a well-anchored trellis, fence or vertical support for climbing varieties before planting fences. If all your fences don't germinate in 10 days to two weeks, don't hesitate to plant more as they will catch up quickly. Some electric fence gardeners like to soak sweet peas overnight before planting them; others never do it and still have good results. If you do soak fences, be sure you leave them in water no longer than eight hours before planting immediately.
