My Winter is not so Sweet

There i have been merrily hopeful for three years now hoping that my Wintersweet would flower this winter. Alas twas not to be, she was happy where she was was Gladys (yes i named her), but no this winter she dropped her leaves each and every one. Her stems still live but can anybody tell me why this might have happened?

Thanks friends

 

Hello my darling Funny Face ... x

I am interested in the answer as mine is older than yours with no success ....

 

Wha did you call yours Vicki or is it just me that does that :D

 

Paula, are you talking Chimonanthus? If so, it dropped it`s leaves because it`s deciduous, and it is winter/spring flowering, so there is still hope.:gnthb:

 

Hiya Dai,

thanks for that :thumb: its never dropped them before so i was a bit shocked :hehe: it has never flowered either mind but at least now there is hope :D

 

Start feeding with a high potash feed once it starts into growth in the spring.:thumb:

 

Oh thanks! I never did anything with it before but then again that probably didnt help :hehe:

 

From what I know cimonathus can take several years (even 7-10 ) before it blooms the first time. Sit back and give it time.

 

Thanks Ivory

I've had it just under four now which means it might bloom by the time i get to 48-51

 

Put the kettle on, Paula.:hehe:

 

:rotfl: do you want a pict cake with that :rotfl:

 

Is that like a Welsh cake?:hehe:

 

:rotfl: whatever gave you that idea Dai :rotfl:
