For best results, nick the seed coat or soak seeds in water for 24 hours before planting to aid germination. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep and 2-3 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 10-21 days. Once seedlings are a few inches tall, thin them to 6-12 inches apart and provide a trellis or support for the vines to climb.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly during dry spells, and mulch to retain moisture. Fertilize lightly if needed, but avoid excessive nitrogen, which can promote foliage over flowers. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. Sweet peas are generally pest-resistant but watch for aphids. With proper care, you'll enjoy a beautiful display of fragrant, bicolor blooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e50 Butterfly Sweet Pea seeds (Lathyrus odoratus).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795521700150,"sku":"FOLIA2-243","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7641350513_c7zt.jpg?v=1792671036","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/butterfly-sweet-pea-seeds-lathyrus-odoratus-bicolor-winged-blooms-for-garden-planting-50-seeds","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
