Sow seeds outdoors after the last frost date, or start indoors 4-6 weeks earlier for an earlier bloom. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Provide a trellis or support for the vines to climb.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly when plants are young, but avoid excessive nitrogen, which can reduce flowering. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. Sweet peas are generally pest-resistant but watch for aphids and powdery mildew in humid conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e50 Solstice Scarlet Sweet Pea seeds (Lathyrus odoratus).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795507282230,"sku":"FOLIA2-129","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7604957357_pn2d.jpg?v=1792670787","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/solstice-scarlet-sweet-pea-seeds-lathyrus-odoratus-climbing-vine-50-seeds","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
