Sweet Pea foliage-lasts the season?

I bought some sweet pea seeds to try this year. I know the flowers will stop in the warm weather but does the foliage stay good looking for the rest of the season?

The foliage is never much to look at even in cool damp climates. Removing the seed pods will prolong flowering.

I'm in a warm climate. My sweet peas are just beginning to bloom - see pic. They'll be done in about 2 months, then the foliage will get ratty and thin, and I'll pull the plants out. It looks great right now, but won't once it gets hot.

Thanks for responding. I think I'll rethink where I'm going to put them. I have a perennial one but obviously never tried the annuals. It'll be fun trying something new.
