Mine haven’t started flowering yet, but are looking rather lush and I expect some turbocharged development over the next week, after taking their time to germinate and grow (it was a seasonally cold/shaded spot on the balcony…). Might put in a bit of fruit/flower liquid fert.
Ah!!! So pretty! And nicely supported too (mine are starting to grow into each other because I haven’t bothered to run string between my stakes). I did not know there were varieties with pink flowers though!!

Nice. I’m just at the first flower stage, hopefully I will catch up with you shortly.

Mine have been really slow to grow this year, but are definitely putting on a spurt of growth with the change in weather.
I'll put this here so you can enjoy mine vicariously while waiting for your own

Most of them are white, I am growing these specifically because I like the pink flowers. The variety is Yakumo, and it grows good pods too.
Thank you, I’ll have to track this variety down! I always like a little burst of colour on the balcony, it cheers everyone up 😺
I recommend The Seed Collection - their seeds are much cheaper and I’ve bought quite a bit from them with no problems.
