Hello,

We have been in this house for three years now. The first year we had
mountain laurels and they bloomed around the end of may. Last year
they didn't bloom at all. This year they havent bloomed yet and when I
drive around Mt. Laurel NJ I see the blooms on the side of the road.

Any idea about what is going on?


I don't know why yours have not bloomed. I don't see any mountain
laurels here in the valley, but in the mountains they are currently in
full bloom. They seem to be particular about where they grow and are
sensitive to climate changes. It may not help this year, but you
could put a layer of mulch around them and hope for the best in 2009.
