Lantana's will not bloom

[lou warren]

this is summer # 2 for my lantana's that were just starting to bloom when I bought them in small 2"-3" pots and proceeded to do fine their first year in the ground. I cut them back during winter, then covered them in mulch, now they are back, big, and covered with buds, and have been for about a month, but they will not bloom???????? I sprayed for bugs, and treated with corn meal (juice) with my foliar feedings. whadaya think? Neighbors Lantana's have been in bloom for almost 3 weeks now...

Could they be in too much shade? I have some of the New Gold variety I planted beneath some red oaks that do great until all of the leaves come out and shade the lantana. I plan on moving mine...
