im only getting flowers at the top
Question from
Hi all,
I have a 3 year old plant that grows well. This is the first year it has flowered, but im only getting flowers at the top of the plant. Also most of the leaves have dropped off. I have attached a photo of the problem.
The plant is in full sun for most of the afternoon.
I would be grateful for any advice
Thanks in advance.
