Soak seeds in water for 24 hours before planting to help soften the hard seed coat and improve germination. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep and 2-3 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Provide a trellis or other support for the vines to climb.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly if needed, but avoid excessive nitrogen, which can promote foliage growth at the expense of flowers. Deadhead regularly to prolong blooming. Sweet peas are cool-season annuals and may decline in intense summer heat; plant in a spot with some afternoon shade in hotter regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e50 Dragonfly Sweet Pea seeds (Lathyrus odoratus).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795521110326,"sku":"FOLIA2-232","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7597150980_hmmf.jpg?v=1792671020","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/dragonfly-sweet-pea-seeds-bicolor-winged-blooms-for-garden-planting-50-seeds","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
