angelonia stopped blooming

23 years ago

I got spoiled with the non-stop blooms of this beauty. The problem is: it has stopped blooming about a few weeks ago, I waited to see if new buds were forming and it wasn't so I pruned it back 1/3. They look tired especially the purple one-- it even looks yellowish so I gave it some ironite (may be the wrong thing to do). I fertilize it every couple of weeks or so and they are well watered from the rain this season. I want them to come back? Any ideas... maybe I should just be patient..right?

Mine stopped blooming a couple of weeks ago too after being a blooming machine all summer. I cut it back but have not fed it yet and am hoping that will bring it back to life. I'd heard they would bloom until a freeze.

Mine never regained its flower power, but it is alive and I hope it will make it this winter. I'm already missing it.

Mine has been blooming again and looks great. The haircut seems to have helped.

This bed looked fabulous a few weeks ago, and then they all just stopped blooming. The ones in my front bed look fine. The plants in my front bed look fine. I hope somebody can give us an answer!

Though I like Osmocote for early season fertilization, I would use something fast acting now. Ironite is not a good choice, you need something with a broader nutrient value.....including nitrogen.
