Frequently asked questions(4)
The main reasons: too deep planting (the buds are buried more than 5 cm), a young bush (the first flowering is often 2-3 years old), not enough sun (you need at least 5 hours a day), or the bush has not been divided for a long time (over 10 years - it’s time).

An adult bush is frost-resistant down to -30° and does not require shelter. Young seedlings of the first year should be mulched with a layer of humus of 5–10 cm.
It’s possible, but he doesn’t like it. If you really need it, only in September, and immediately water it generously. After transplantation, it may become “offended” and not bloom for 1–2 years.
