summersweet shrub never blooms

Question

My summersweet shrub is very healthy, but never blooms. Any suggestions? The summersweet has been in my garden for at least 6 years and has never bloomed. It gets dappled shade most of the day with maybe a little direct sun in late afternoon.

Answer 1

You may want to have a soil test preformed as it does like the soil to be slightly acidic.
Here is a link that should help you pinpoint the issue.
