Sturt Desert Peas

| Hi there.
Can anyone help me? I am growing some Sturt Desert Peas and have noticed that they are getting some yellowing of their lower leaves. I read on a site that they can be fed with liquid fertilizer? I know they can be temperamental if overwatered. They only get sub mulch water, none overhead unless it rains.
I would also like to save the seeds...when do I pick the pods?
Hope someone more knowledgeable can help me.
Thanks a million.

| I grow them regularly in NSW which is a different kettle of fish, but for what it's worth I find them gross feeders - heaps of food and don't worry about the native stuff. Iron rich fertilizers might be best for the yellowing of the older leaves. Summmer is not a good time to grow them in Sydney and in Central Australia mid winter seems best but for southern SA i have no input. They're worth the effort of a few failures. Ciao |
