Sow seeds indoors in late winter or directly outdoors in early spring once the soil can be worked. Plant about 1\/2 inch deep in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Provide a trellis or support for the vines to climb as they grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and keep roots cool. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continued blooming. Sweet peas are cool-season growers and may decline in the heat of summer; planting in partial shade can help extend the season. Avoid over-fertilizing with nitrogen, which can promote foliage at the expense of flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e50 Lilac Ripple Sweet Pea seeds (Lathyrus odoratus).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795524714806,"sku":"FOLIA2-285","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7634883041_ghtn.jpg?v=1792671123","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/50-lilac-ripple-sweet-pea-seeds-lathyrus-odoratus-purple-vine-flower","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
