Soak seeds in water for 24 hours before planting to improve germination. Plant seeds about 1\/4 inch deep in moist, well-drained soil. Keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge, which typically takes 10-21 days. Once seedlings are established, water regularly, especially during dry spells. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Sweet peas benefit from a light application of balanced fertilizer once a month.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProvide a small trellis or support if growing in windy areas, though the dwarf habit usually stands alone. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases. With minimal care, Cupid Mixture will reward you with a profusion of colorful, fragrant blooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e50 Cupid Mixture Dwarf Sweet Pea seeds (Lathyrus odoratus).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795587858742,"sku":"FOLIA2-604","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7518262614_s26p.jpg?v=1792671791","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/cupid-mixture-dwarf-sweet-pea-seeds-compact-lathyrus-odoratus-color-mix-50-seeds","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
