Sweet pea heads dropping off
Try hard
Posts: 25
I have lovely healthy sweet peas that seemed to be growing well, cut the first flowers and since then nothing, flower stems are short and the buds on long stems have gone. Anyone any ideas please. Read all I can from the forum but couldn't find anything. Thanks in advance

Are they in the ground or in pots? I only ask because in pots they might be congested if you have a lot of them, and therefore they could be short of food and water, and in the ground it could be slug/snail damage. Regular picking usually means more flowers, not less.
DavidK is the SP expert but I don't know if he's around today.

Don't know what to suggest
It's not something I've encountered before. Have you grown them successfully in the same places before? I wonder if there's not enough nutrition for them.

Tryhard Fairy has looked at sweetpea thread and no answer, best if I move it up and you ask the question there, David will help.
Sorry - I went out..
As KEF says - David will be a lot more help than me Try hard. I'm sure he'll be back on sometime soon and will know the questions to ask as well as the answers!

Hi, Try hard.....I've answered your query on the other thread, but I see you have found the correct diagnosis from the Eagle SP website......they are the experts.
Good luck, the problem will soon resolve itself.
