00:00This is why your perennials didn't bloom this year.

00:04You pruned at the wrong time.

00:06Pruning at the wrong time removes formed buds on old or new wood,

00:10eliminating blooms.

00:12Research species specific bloom habits.

00:15Your plant needs to mature.

00:17Many perennials prioritize roots and foliage early,

00:21delaying flowers.

00:22Some, like peonies, need several years before reliable blooms.

00:27Overfertilizing encouraged foliage.

00:30Not flowers.

00:31Excess nitrogen fuels lush leaves instead of buds, reducing flowers.

00:36Use balanced or bloom formulated fertilizers,

00:39emphasizing phosphorus for flowering.

00:42The plant is in too much shade.

00:45Insufficient sunlight limits energy for bud formation.

00:48Many perennials require six plus hours.

00:51Relocate or thin shade to improve blooms.

00:54The soil needs improvement.

00:56Poor drainage, low nutrients, or improper pH can limit flowering.

01:02Test the soil and amend it with compost and specific nutrients to encourage healthy blooms.

01:08Drought or irregular watering stress the plant.

01:10Inconsistent moisture stresses plants, diverting energy from buds.

01:14Water deeply and regularly mulch to retain moisture and stabilize temperatures.

01:20Late spring frost-damaged buds.

01:23Late spring frosts can damage developing buds.

01:26Use frost cloths during cold snaps for protection, though some plants may still re-bloom modestly.

01:31Overcrowding reduced flower production.

01:35Crowded clumps compete for light, water, and nutrients, reducing flowers.

01:40Divide perennials periodically to rejuvenate growth and boost blooming.

01:45Pests or diseases interrupted bud development.

01:49Aphids, thrips, and fungal problems can damage buds and sap the plant's energy.

01:54Inspect regularly and treat early with insecticidal soap, neem oil, or fungicide.
