Certified ExpertA.You may be lacking phosphorus, especially with the addiion of sheep manure which has a higher nitrogen content. If there is a lack of phosphorus in the soil, plants will have little to no blooms. You can either use a phosphorus rich fertilizer or add some bone meal to the soil.

June 6, 2013Q.Some Leaves Dying
Why are some of the leaves on my hummingbird vine dying? Not all the leaves, just some and they are all new and on the same branches. This is a new plant for me since I have never had the room before to grow one, so I don't know some of the habits of this plant. Thank you, Patricia

June 7, 2013A.If you are talking about Campsis, this article should help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/roses/rose-bush-diseases.htm
And if it is Campsis, don't worry, it's bullet proof, really.
If it isn't, there's another vine called Cypress. This this is an article for that plant:

October 19, 2014Q.What plant do we have?
We have a plant growing side-by-side with and, in fact, intertwined with a hummingbird vine. Difference is, the leaves are similar to gingko, the blossoms are bright yellow, and it has produced long skinny seed pods, 9 or 10 inches long, and curved. Any idea what we have??

Pittsburgh PaQ.how long does it take for a hummingbird vine to bloom
I planted a hummingbird vine 4 yrs ago. The vine is very healthy and aggressive, but has not bloomed one flower in the 4 yrs. Is there anything that needs to be done to help it bloom?

May 31, 2015A.One possibility is that the plant may be receiving too much nitrogen from lawn fertilizer.
If you think this could be the case, avoid fertilizing the lawn within 10ft of the vine.If you don't think this is an issue, I would suggest adding a slow release high in phosphorous fertilizer in early spring.
This could be labeled at 'bloom booster' in the garden center.
This may help the plant get started blooming.

Certified ExpertA.Although they can take a few years to reach maturity depending on where you are, this is a plant that we don't plant around our area. In Tennessee this becomes very invasive very fast. The warmer your climate, the faster they spread. In my area they take over everything and are almost impossible to keep under control. It is best to do them in container here. I'm not sure what area you are in, so I couldn't tell you how fast it would grow.
This can be an evergreen in southern areas, but it will die back and lose foliage further north.
