My guess is they are, or at sometime been allowed to get too dry, plus they are competing with the hedge for nutrients.
I made the following reply to another thread, perhaps it will answer your query;

Generally, with most spring bulbs be they in the ground or in a pot; the current years flowers are formed the previous year.
The subsequent flower quality is dependant on how and when they were fed.
That is; feed them just as they are coming into bud and allow the leaves to die right back after flowering, this will ensure that the following years embryo has been well fed.
