Nick or soak the seeds before sowing to help soften the hard seed coat, then plant about 1\/2 inch deep in moist, well-drained soil. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination and provide a trellis or support for the vines to climb as they grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly during dry spells and mulch to help retain moisture. Pinch out the growing tips when seedlings are a few inches tall to encourage bushier growth, and remove spent flowers to promote continued blooming. Sweet peas prefer cooler weather and may slow down in intense summer heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing includes 50 Milly Sweet Pea seeds (Lathyrus odoratus) for garden planting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795522715958,"sku":"FOLIA2-255","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7640561623_7rsl.jpg?v=1792671064","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/milly-sweet-pea-seeds-50-lathyrus-odoratus-soft-pastel-flowers-for-garden-planting","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
