My wisteria and lilacs won't bloom what should I do?

I have a lovely lilac hedge in my front yard, the lilacs on one side bloom beautifully, but ones on hte other barely bloom - the difference is the sun - the one end has more trees above them and they get less sun. So one factor to consider is how much sun these plants are getting, they do best in full sun, they will grow in shade, but they may not bloom.

Hi: You may be cutting off the blooms unintentionally. With Lilacs especially when you remove the spent blooms cut off only the dead flower and leave the two small leaves just below the flower intact. This way you are not cutting off next years blooms. I am not sure about Wisteria but you could check with the garden centres. You may need to do a good fertilizing of both plants in early spring to encourage blooms.
