🌱 WHY WE START 'Lilac Romance' SWEET PEA SEEDS IN ROOTRAINERS
Like all sweet peas, 'Lilac Romance' develops a deep root system quickly. Rootrainers encourage strong downward root growth and reduce transplant shock when seedlings are planted into the garden.
We start every Sweet Pea Gardens crop in professional Rootrainers and recommend them to gardeners who want stronger plants and more flowers.
