How do they react to acid side dressings when sharing the garden with acid loving plants that require regular acid feeding

April 30, 2018A.Sweet pea bush does prefer slightly alkaline soil, but it should be able to tolerate pH down to 6.0. You could try adding the acid side dressing on the opposite side from the sweet pea.

May 19, 2018Q.feeding petite butterfly sweet pea shrub.
generally peas produce their own nitrogen. In a garden center in the high desert plants have to be watered (ph about 7.8) a little more frequently. I have noticed that they stop flowering. Is that because of to much water or perhaps not enough balanced fertilizer?? Please enlighten me. Thank you, Nikki

Certified ExpertA.There could be a number of reasons for this. Usually, you will not feed any member of the legume family with any amount of nitrogen. They fix their own from the atmosphere and store it in root nodules. Fertilizing with nitrogen will end up with plants that burn up into a papery consistency and die.
The alternative, would be a fungal infection from overwatering. This is also common. To be safe, you will want to add dolomitic lime and wettable sulfur to the area to kill off anything lurking. These will contribute to the health of the plant, as well.
If you can include a photo, I will be better able to see what is going on.

June 4, 2018Q.Ballerina Pea
I planted a ballerina pea a couple of months ago and already the leaves are turning brown. Should I remove it from where it is and replant it in a pot before I lose it altogether. Your help would be much appreciated. It is in a spot on its own in a stoned covered area.

June 17, 2018Q.Sweet Pea Bush
My sweet pea bush has been in the ground over a year now, surviving one hot summer here in Phoenix. It looked beautiful this spring: green leaves and purple blooms all over. After the weather turned warm in May, it has started turning yellow and drying up. I'm hoping I can save it. I pruned back some of the dead areas, but would like any advice. Does it have a disease or pest problem?

Sun in winter and shade in summer.

July 6, 2018Q.Sweet peas
My sweet peas have a lot of yellow dying leaves at the bottom of the plant and only two or three flowers with some buds. What is the cause?
- Answered by
MichiganDot on
July 6, 2018A.It is common for the bottom leaves to yellow on all peas. The main problem, though, is that peas don't like hot weather. They may do better with some afternoon shade. More info here: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/sweet-pea/care-of-sweet-peas.htm
