Sweetpea Seeds (Open Pollinated)

About -

Infuse your garden with nostalgic charm using Richgrow Seeds Sweet Pea Open Pollinated Seeds, a non-GMO, heirloom variety (Lathyrus odoratus), ideal for home gardeners seeking fragrant, delicate blooms at an unbeatable price! Known as Sweet Pea or Vrajlata, this variety produces clusters of butterfly-like flowers, measuring 3–5 cm across, in shades of pink, purple, red, white, blue, or bicolor, with a sweet, floral fragrance, perfect for trellises, fences, containers, or as cut flowers, blooming from 8–12 weeks after sowing through spring to early summer. These nectar-rich blooms attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, enhancing garden ecosystems. The climbing or bushy vines, growing 1–2.5 m tall with support or 30–60 cm for dwarf varieties, are resistant to pests like aphids and diseases such as powdery mildew, thriving in cool climates, with optimal sowing in fall (October–November) or early spring (February–March) across Pan-India, particularly in Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Himachal Pradesh, as aligned with prior sowing discussions (April 10, 2025). Sow 2–3 seeds at a 1–2 cm depth in well-drained, fertile loamy soil (50% garden soil, 30% compost, 20% sand, pH 6.0–7.5) under full sun to partial shade (6–8 hours daily), spacing 15–20 cm apart in rows 30 cm wide; soak seeds in lukewarm water for 12–24 hours to achieve 85% germination within 10–20 days at 15–20°C. Maintain moist soil with regular watering (1 liter per plant every 2–3 days), deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering, and fertilize with organic compost or a low-nitrogen fertilizer every 3–4 weeks to encourage blooms over foliage; use neem oil for pests like spider mites or thrips. Provide trellises or netting for climbing varieties, with excellent durability for cut flowers. Note: Seeds and plants are toxic if ingested; handle with care around pets and children. Store unopened packets in a cool, dry place for up to 3 years. Available in Kitchen Garden Packet (KGP) (50–100 seeds), Standard Packet, Professional Pack (200–250 grams), or custom bulk orders, all in eco-friendly, resealable, moisture-proof, UV-protected packets with an 85% germination rate, designed for your sustainable vision at www.richgrowindustrialcorporation.com, reflecting your eco-friendly, customer-centric brand with nature-inspired packaging (green, brown, white).
