Viburnums never bloom

I’m treating my viburnums for aphids. They’ve struggled a bit because of the drought last summer.
Anyway, I’ve just realized that they have never flowered. If had them for about three years. They are about eight feet tall which is great, but never had flowers.
Is this a product of the cultivar (supposedly sweet), fertilizer type (annual triple 13), stress or just all of it function going into establishing?

Since you planted 3 years ago, that’s still a relatively short time to expect a plant to thrive and be able to flower in the way you are expecting. Think of citrus trees *I’ve had shrubs before where they were 3-5 yrs old and they exploded with flowers randomly one year. I was even expecting them to flower at all. This was privet . Not vibs.
Secondly, what variety did you plant? And do you really expect some kind of superbloom considering the drought in Louisiana last year?

I don’t know what to expect.
Hence, why I asked the question.

I also planted some sweet viburnums in spring 2022. They have tripled in size but never bloomed. I’m ok with it though as I want them to block my yard from my a-hole neighbors.

A landscape architect planted 6 viburnums as a privacy hedge 25 years ago in Baton Rouge. They grew impressively large but never bloomed. At about 15 years a fungus started killing them. The bark peeled off at the base. Plant loss was a slow processes. The last one died last year. The drought was a possible contributor.

It could be a combo of all things listed. 13-13-13 is a shite npk ratio for encouraging blooms though.
