It took me two years before I started to get flowers. That was a picture before the plant started to reproduce all over. Don't add fertilizer. Usually that just adds salts to your soil. I'm a Master Gardener so I know the most important thing is soil. Go or call you co-op extension office and ask for a soil kit. It is so much cheaper than buying one at the garden center. Follow the instructions and have your soil tested. Usually people find out how little fertilizer you really need. Start putting mulch down from ground up foliage at the end of the year, oak leaves are perfect. This puts back the nutrients from the plants a natural fertilizer with no chemicals or salts. I never use store bought fertilize. Look at how many flowers I get now that the plant is established. Each pod is full of seeds.
