Hello;
I have a row of Purple Hopseed plants - about 15. Coastal San Diego area.
Last year and again this year most are completely covered with blooms/flowers. But randomly, here and there will be one with none. They look healthy but NO flowers.
The ones with flowers are weighted down with flowers. Last year they didn't loose the flowers/blooms/pods. The ones without flowers got new growth while the ones with an abundance of flowers became almost bare of leaves. I finally used my hand to 'brush off' the old blooms and then they got some new growth.
Is this normal?
Should I remove some of the blooms now?
Or just let nature take care of it?
