Esperanza

Question

At the start of this summer I planted 3 esperanza plants of the same size in a cluster. Since then (approx. 2 months), one plant has grown to about 30 inches with plenty of flowers, the other 2 plants have grown to about 6 feet tall and have never had one flower. Why did this happen and what can be done?

Answer 1

It is likely lacking in phosphorus, which it needs to bloom. Give it some bone meal to add some phosphorus to the soil where it is located.
