I have been given cuttings of everlasting sweetpeas ,they are at least 5 ft tall look very healthy but no flowers yet my every day sweet peas are beautiful

The everlasting will produce much more stalk before flowering and then the flowers will be smaller and less glamorous than the decorative varieties. They are everlasting ( but watch out for slug attack when the shoots just appear ) and so you gain some and lose some. They may take a season to settle in, persevere and blooms will appear.

thanks for replying mondaychild .was about to give up on them , I thought I was doing something wrong , so will give them another chance

My neighbour has perennial swet peas and the first flower bud appeared yesterday. perhps the wet spring has slowed them down.

thanks Mondaychild. . will keep you informed , at the speed they are growing I am beginning to think they are sunflowers ,not sweetpeas

success at last I have buds appearing and a flower about to pop
