How do I get my thrift to bloom like this???? I use miracle grow every 7-10days, good drainage, partial sun, and I clip off the dead blooms. However, each plant will occassionally have one or two blooms.

They are drought tolerant,it's semi arid here and if im busy or cant water they hold up very well.
