Sweet pea stems
Why do they get shorter as the Sweet Pea season wears on? At first,
the flowers have nice long stems, but as the season draws to a close, stems are much shorter. Inquiring minds... HB |

I'm sure that if you removed some of the many flower stems being produced later in the season, the ones left would also be bigger and longer ? A bit like the principle of disbudding chrysanthemums to produce larger flowers ?? Lannerman |

I'd imagine it involves early devotion of resources to attaining stature and structure followed by an emphasis on flower and seed production as light intensity and photoperiod increase. |
