Nodding Violets???
 

Hi I have somw plants and I was told they were nodding violets, they are
very healthy at the moment as I feed them liquid Chicken manure, BUT the are
not flowering profusely as I have seen them elsewhere.

Is there something that will bring on the flowers???
I put some slow release pellets in the baskets yesterday hoping that that
will bring on the flowering.

if you want flowers you will need a fast acting fertiliser for flowering,
rather than overall growth. i would suggest something like bloom buster, or
something similar. Your local nursery will have an assortment of fertlisers
for flowering.

Your high nitrogen manure will cause lots of leaf growth at the expense
of flowers.

Possibly sulphate of potash. Have a look on the pack. And don't apply
any more high-nitrogen manure.
