Incense Mix Sweet Pea Seeds – 50 Lathyrus odoratus Mixed Colors Garden Flowers

Incense Mix Sweet Pea (Lathyrus odoratus) is a fragrant annual climber prized for its intensely scented, ruffled blooms in a mix of soft pastel and rich jewel tones. The flowers appear over a long season, making this mix a favorite for cutting gardens, trellises, fences, and cottage-style borders. The vines climb by tendrils and can quickly cover a support, adding vertical color and a classic garden perfume.

Sweet peas are easy to grow from seed and reward with abundant blooms when given a sunny spot and something to climb. The Incense Mix is especially valued for its strong fragrance, which carries on the air and makes it a top choice for bouquets and evening gardens.

Planting & Care

For best results, sow seeds indoors 4–6 weeks before the last frost, or direct sow outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Nick or soak seeds for 24 hours before planting to improve germination. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep in a moist, well-drained seed-starting mix. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Once seedlings have several sets of leaves, harden them off and transplant to the garden, providing a trellis or support for the vines to climb.

Sweet peas thrive in cool weather and benefit from regular watering and a layer of mulch to keep roots cool. Fertilize lightly at planting and again when buds appear. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Avoid overhead watering to reduce disease risk. With proper care, vines will produce abundant fragrant blooms for cutting and garden enjoyment.
