sweet peas stopped flowering
« on: June 19, 2009, 08:57 »
Hi all,
          I have several sweet pea plants in large pots, they have been flowering well for a couple of weeks,(seed sown in November) now they have just stopped :( Thay look nice & healthy & are about 4 feet tall, i have made sure to remove the flowers regularly & any seed pods, I also remove the tendrils. Any ideas if they will start to flower again? or is that it?
             Adrian.

Give them some tomato fertiliser.  It encourages flowering.

I've got loads of flowers, cut them each day to encourage them, but they seem to have lost their 'smell' this year.  Any one else noticed this?

Quite a few of the modern hybrids have a lot less 'smell' unfortunately...........bigger flowers but less smell ...you can't have it all. Look for the 'old fashioned' varieties next year :lol:

Mine are normally scented (ie a range from no scent at all to very heady from the modern mixture, and glorious from the old-fashioned sorts).
