Answer
If the Daphne has new growth but no flowers, the chances are it is either a new plant and/or it was pruned too late last year. Daphne blooms at the tips of the branches. Flower buds are formed in early summer, so, if it was pruned anytime after this, the flower buds for this winter would have been removed. Feeding the Daphne will not stimulate flowering but new growth would benefit from a 1/2 strength feeding of a liquid plant food. The Maxsea Acid formula is a good one.
