My Magnolia Susan ( Bush) Not Flowering

Question

I bought it last year nearing the end of its flowering period but it still had some flowers but this year just looks like a few stick going out of the ground no buds at all. My garden is west facing so it gets some good sun although I would say Sun/Shade. Grateful for some advice Thanks Mary

Unfortunately, your photo did not come through. I am unable to assess the situation.

It sounds like it may have had some trouble getting established, as this can halt flowering the following season. It could be a soil pH/nutrient deficiency, however.

Here are some articles that will help:
