No sign of buds forming yet. Why must this plant (several copies are scattered around my yard) always make such a late entrance? It never gets into full swing until right before the first frost. B. suaveolens. This spot is in the sun about half of the day. I see these blooming in a lot more shady spots in other people's yards. Did I aim for too much sun? Is it just triggered by even days/nights, or longer nights?

Secret here is to push the blooms with some bloom booster fertilizer since
she has some good height on her. What color is this one?

Here is our B. Cassie Curl on her third flush, with only one fertlizer of the bloom
booster.

That looks great! TY for the suggestion! I've given this compost and a little weak fertilizer while doing potted plants. But that little splash or two probably wasn't enough to have even bothered for a ground plant. It had a 3rd branch but I snipped it to propagate last weekend.

My asked-about plant is this same plant that yielded this pic 2016. The blooms have a beautiful scent:
