They should have bloomed by now. Did you fertilize them? If you did that may be the problem. I made that mistake once before. They grew lush and thick with leaves, but no flowers. Otherwise, maybe it's the location. They like a lot of sun.

Fertilizer is probably your problem. All you get is a jungle of leaves and no flowers. Stop fertilizing.

Fertilizer is a fuzzy term that could refer to a large number of different nutrients...

Nitrogen is just one of the possible components of a 'fertilizer' and excessive levels of nitrogen can delay flowering but phosphorus (which is also a component of some fertilizers) is bloom stimulating to Morning Glories...

The moonvines tend to bloom later in the season when the shorter day-length stimulates the plants to flower , although they may bloom earlier in warmer temperatures...
