Nick the seed coat or soak seeds in water for 24 hours before planting to 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 support for the vines to climb. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Once seedlings emerge, thin them to 6-12 inches apart. Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and fertilize lightly if needed. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e50 Matucana Sweet Pea seeds (Lathyrus odoratus).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795520356662,"sku":"FOLIA2-220","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7648715575_bch2.jpg?v=1792670994","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/matucana-sweet-pea-seeds-50-seeds-lathyrus-odoratus-maroon-purple-bicolor-blooms","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
