Forsythia not blooming?

I have three large forsythias- two yellow and one white - that bloom beautifully each year. This year the white is blooming beautifully, but the two yellow ones are just leafing out. Why? They get the same kind of sun and are treated the same - I don't cut them back. Anyone know a reason?

Did you have a late frost in your area after the buds were set? That happened where I live last year, and the forsythia did not bloom much at all, but did have nice foliage. I pruned mine significantly last year, and we have not had a hard spring frost- they are really pretty this year.
Reply:Perhaps for some reason your forsythias did not grow much last summer.





Forsythia blooms on the previous year's growth. That is why many people prune them hard each spring after they have flowered in order to stimulate new growth throughout the summer. This ensures a good display of flowers the following spring.
