Sweet pea viruses

Symptoms - There are many indications of this virus, including: mottled/streaked white leaves, dead spots or patches on the leaves, colourless veins, translucent patches on leaves, stunted or malformed plants, white streaks on the flower petals.

Please note: Some of these symptoms can be confused with nutrient deficiencies. However, sweet peas are unlikely to show such symptoms if the precaution is taken to supply good quality balanced fertiliser before planting.
