Sow seeds indoors in deep pots or directly outdoors once the danger of frost has passed. Plant seeds about 1\/2 inch deep in a well-drained seed-starting mix or garden soil. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during germination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce seedlings are established, provide a trellis, netting, or other support for the vines to climb. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and mulch to help retain soil moisture. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Sweet peas prefer cooler growing conditions and may slow down in intense summer heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing includes 50 Little Red Riding Hood Sweet Pea seeds (Lathyrus odoratus).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795520422198,"sku":"FOLIA2-221","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7600752368_fr6v.jpg?v=1792670999","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/50-little-red-riding-hood-sweet-pea-seeds-red-white-bicolor-lathyrus-odoratus","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
