I’m sorry to say that sweet peas wouldn’t fit this seasonality. They are planted in late winter or early spring and only bloom in cold temperatures, before summer heat knocks them out. We’d suggest looking for a heat-loving flower that naturally blooms in mid-August. There are many options: Zinnia, Asters, ornamental Sunflower, etc. Just look at the seed packets and # of growing days to back out your planting dates and we’d also suggest staggering your plantings to hit the right dates. Nature’s unpredictable!
