Hi sweet peas grow to a support because they grow very tall up to 8ft and can become to heavy for themselves to support so the support helps the sweet pea stand high and tall without collapsing. Answer. In nature sweet peas would scramble around and climb up the nearest bush or cover the ground. Modern gardeners like to be tidy so they grow them up sticks. Exhibitors even go to the bother of growing one single stem and disbudding them to get perfect flowers.

Can you eat peas from a sweet pea plant?

You can chew on them, but they are very high in fibre which turns into an inedible mess in your mouth ... you will no doubt be spitting that out. But they do have a nice, sweet pea flavour much like snow peas. Cooking the pods wouldn't help, and the peas inside the pods don't grow very large. Just enjoy the riot of color and scent from the blossoms and grow regular peas for eating (the less cooked the better IMHO).
