Not Blossoming Well:
- Check shade and sun conditions. You may need to move the plants or
cut some branches of the trees that are shading the plants. The plants need at least 6
hours of sun a day and the time of day of the sun affects the blooming.
- Too Much Fertilizer. The plants may be getting burned, or perhaps they
are growing too fast to bloom well. Very lush foliage but few blooms indicates that the
plants may be too well fed.
- Plants set too deep or sunk into the soil. Raise the plants and
reset.
- Heavy seed production. Allowing the seed pods to stay on the plants
will weaken them for the next growing season.
- Plants are overgrown and need to be divided. Dig up, divide plants
and replant.
- Plants are too small. Give them a bit more fertilizer and another
year.
- Roots are dry. Increase the mulch and watering.
