I planted sweet peas from last years seeds.  Last year I had a huge mix of colours but this year every single one is white.  Any ideas why? Thank you

    If white is the dominant gene [ not sure ], then most of the offspring will also be white.

    Was the original seed an F1 hybrid?  They rarely breed true.

    I'm not sure tbh - that will teach me for trying to be thrifty! ?
