Alternatively, start seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before the last frost date. Nick the seed coat with a nail clipper or soak seeds in water for 24 hours to improve germination. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep and 2 to 3 inches apart. Keep the soil evenly moist until germination, which typically occurs in 10 to 21 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce seedlings emerge, provide a trellis or support for the vines to climb. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and mulch to retain moisture. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Sweet peas prefer cool temperatures and may decline in intense summer heat. In warmer climates, they can be sown in late summer or fall for winter or early spring blooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing includes 50 King's High Scent Sweet Pea seeds (\u003cem\u003eLathyrus odoratus\u003c\/em\u003e) for planting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67776115769654,"sku":"FOLIA-145","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7583736100_c9dq.jpg?v=1792467811","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/kings-high-scent-sweet-pea-seeds-lathyrus-odoratus-50-seeds-for-planting","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
