Is this enough sweet peas for this pot?
in Plants
Wondered if this is enough for a pot this size? Planted just blue velvet and swan lake hoping to get a nice blue/white display. Moved them from their smaller pots and kept them all together rather than splitting. All together about 18 plants.

Has the pot got decent depth too? It looks quite shallow, but it may just be the angle of the pic.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Ideally, some well rotted manure, or good soil, is best in the base before adding compost. It gives them a bit more insurance against drying out quickly. Manure is excellent because it offers extra nourishment. They're greedy plants.
As they grow, the foliage obscures the soil, so watering is particularly important.
Even here, pots can dry out quite readily, and I water almost daily once they're growing away. I also add some extra compost as the season goes on and the level settles
