  • Viburnum not flowering

    I've had a Viburnum a couple of years now - when it first arrived (via post) it was a mere stick, and I didn't expect much the first year. This year however it's put on plenty of growthg, but still no flowers.

    Earlier in the year the growing stems were absolutely covered in blackfly, so I cut the tops off and the plent has obviously spread out from the cutting points (made just above two leaf stems).

    Do I need to just be patient, or is there somethign I can do to encourage flowers?

    Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.

    did you cut all the flower buds off?

      If there were any I didn't see them.

        What sort is it? Winter or summer flowering?
        (they should be pruned after flowering ... you might have pruned off the bits where the flowers would have been developing. I've done it too)

          Ah, now there's a question...

          It's written on the label, but I can't remember. Snowball? Puffball? I'll have a look when I get home.

            Snowball should bloom early summer. This might help with growing specifics: Viburnum macrocephalum ( Chinese Snowball Viburnum )
