This can happen for a few reasons, from underfertilization to cool weather! I would test the soil for pH issues, or fertilization problems before feeding, unless it has been several months since the last one. They are a little on the heavy side when it comes to feeding.

I would recommend testing the soil and pH, and having patience for cooler temperatures. Here are some articles that will help:
