A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum Shrubs and Trees rhodendrons aren't blooming

Hey All, I planted 4 small rhododendrons about a month ago. They all have a ton of new growth on them, it seems likes the branches have grown at least 8 inches, but they haven't bloomed yet. Do they maybe need something in the soil or are they just to busy getting rooted to bloom? I have put a bunch of pine needles around the base of them as mulch. Anyone have any ideas?

They may need another year.
