Question From: B. Wood - GEORGIA
Q: Three years ago I planted a Vibernum in a place that gets morning to mid afternoon sun. Soil around it is fine clays so I amended with moo nure and placed mulch around the base. The leaves remain green but the plant does not seem to grow or produce any flowers. I have threatened it that this year produce or up it comes; no use it still looks much like it did when planted. Any advice?
A:
Maybe it's a dwarf Viburnum. I always council folks to save the tags from their landscape plants. Dwarf may only grow 3 to 4 feet in height. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy
Q: Would that account for no flowers?
A:
Byron, Plants usually fail to flower for a couple of reasons. Lack of sun or too much nitrogen fertilizer. Also not all viburnums are happy in the Georgia heat, so that might be an issue. Since you don't know the variety it's hard to say. I suggest you take branch with leaves to a good independent garden center to see if they can ID it, or try moving it to a place were it gets a bit more sun. Best Nancy
