Philadelphus virginal

**l*@juno.com**

Hi Folks,

Any suggestions? We've had our Philadelphus Virginal for five years and
it has never bloomed. Tried superphosphate this year -- nothing. At first
we thought, it might be "not enough sun" until I went on Gardenweb, where
there was a whole lot of conjecture about the virginal strain being no
good, about Wayside plants not growing, etc., etc., etc. My husband says
pull it out, but it is a lush and beautiful mature shrub at this point
and I'm very determined to make it bloom! 

I've heard either full sun or part shade is OK. My Lily-of-the-Valley
struggle with too much light in the same spot, and the Iris bloom, so I
was thinking I had enough light. We are really, really frustrated.

Thanks,
Lois de Vries
