Plant seeds outdoors after the last frost date, or start indoors 4–6 weeks earlier in deep pots to minimize root disturbance. Sow seeds about 1 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 10–21 days at 55–65°F. Provide a trellis or other support at planting time so the vines can climb as they grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly during dry spells and mulch to keep roots cool. Fertilize lightly if soil is poor, but avoid excessive nitrogen, which promotes foliage over flowers. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. Sweet peas prefer cool weather and may decline in intense summer heat; in hot climates, provide afternoon shade. Monitor for aphids and other common pests, and ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e50 Royal Blue Sweet Pea seeds (Lathyrus odoratus) for garden planting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795547717942,"sku":"FOLIA2-485","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7539708692_qbqs.jpg?v=1792671535","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/royal-blue-sweet-pea-seeds-lathyrus-odoratus-climbing-vine-50-seeds","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
