Sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus) seeds are fairly large and easy to handle. They are typically about 1 to 1.5 centimeters long, oval in shape, and have a smooth, hard surface. The color can range from light brown to dark maroon or burgundy. Sweet pea seeds are often encased in a papery or leathery pod that splits open when the seeds are mature. Due to their size, they are relatively straightforward to sow, either directly into the soil or started indoors.
