Geum Not Blooming After Three Years: Fertilizer Adjustment for Flower Production

Geum ('Lady Stratheden' / 'Mrs. Bradshaw') Bloom Failure

Healthy foliage but no flowers after 3 years in full sun suggests excess nitrogen.

Fix

Switch to a fertilizer low in nitrogen, high in phosphorus and potassium (e.g., 5-10-10 or "bloom booster"). Avoid balanced feeds like Miracle-Gro. Apply in early spring.

This redirects energy from leaves to flowers.
