When you say recommended fertiliser, what does that mean? Perhaps the NPK (ratio of nitrogen to phosporus, and potassium) isn't right. High nitrogren feeds ensure lots of leaves, not so great for flowers. I rarely feed mine at all, it's in a pot, only its second year, and it's flowering now. If I feed it, it gets a dose of all purpose Miracle Gro.

Mine flowereed abundantly two years ago, but not last year not so far in this. I suspect the average temperature is not high enough
