my mock orange

Question from paula hewitt

Hi,

I bought a mock orange last year and it flowered beautifully. .however this yeat just three blooms near the base. Can anyone tell me if this is normal? Should i have cut it back last winter?

It doesnt appear to have any disease or pests so im crossing my fingers.

Many thanks


Paula
