Coppertina Ninebark Is Not Growing Or Flowering

Question From: T. Vagiates - MICHIGAN
Q: Dear Nancy, I purchased a Coppertina Ninebark from English Gardens about 3 years ago. I planned to prune this as it says it grows 6 - 8 ft tall. Mine is about 2.5 ft tall and i've never seen a white flower on it. I know something is eating it, but I can't figure out what it is and how to discourage it. Any suggestions are really appreciated. Thank you, Thea

A:

Could be lack of sun or water or both. I use Plant Skydd to deter animals. If you have rabbits, the granules will work. The spray works well on deer. Best Nancy
