    Hi,

    I have been growing sweet peas, everlasting pink pearl, but wondered if they should have flowered yet?

    I used Tomerarite today as I read it promotes flowers.

    Thanks

    Hi @Colo , my Sweet Peas arejust starting to flower.
    However " Pink Pearl " is an Everlasting Pea not a Sweet Pea and I'm not sure when they flower ( it could still be a little early ).

    Sweet Peas are annuals with lage flowers and highly scented wheras Everlasting Peas are perenials with smaller flowers and no scent.

      Thank You. That is a little disappointing, as I hoped for the nice scent and big flowers. But I have learnt something :)

      I have the other variety as well it's not as big and just checked and see one pale yellow flower.

        My everlasting sweet pea flowered and despite watering in the evening now looks like dried up hay. The other variety is doing fine.

        Any advice on how I could revive it? I'm so disappointed as I spent so much time and effort on it getting it to a good height.

        This weather is killing my efforts :)
