Nick the seed coat or soak seeds in water for 24 hours to improve germination. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Provide a trellis or 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 reduce flowering. Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage continued flowering. Sweet peas are cool-season annuals and may decline in hot summer weather; plant in a spot with afternoon shade in warmer climates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e50 Heathcliff Sweet Pea seeds (\u003cem\u003eLathyrus odoratus\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795520586038,"sku":"FOLIA2-224","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7600728080_lxy8.jpg?v=1792671002","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/heathcliff-sweet-pea-seeds-50-purple-blooms-lathyrus-odoratus-for-garden-planting","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
