I never have,I did water it with some Tomato plant food today,More in hope than expectation.
Oh well,It's only Mid December,I'll just keep hoping,Thanks.
I've a young V. bodnantense 'Charles Lamont' planted last spring. It flowered after that cool spell in August, and I feared that might be it for the year, but it's absolutely covered with flower buds again now.
It's planted in front of some clematis which get generous doses of Clematis food throughout the summer which might have helped the Viburnum - you could try giving yours a couple of sprinkles next summer and see what happens - what've you got to lose?

Thanks Dovefrom above,I'll try that.It gives me the impression it's about to flower,because it looks healthy enough,but then it lets me down at the last minute.Knowing my garden,it will probably flower in July.Thanks anyway.
