Motty...try my method. Put the plants outside all winter (they like a hard winter) and then stick them in the greenhouse around March. They need heat to make flowers. Keep them in the warmth until they start to flower and then if you want to you can bring them outside and enjoy them, or you can leave them inside. But put them outside for the winter. It works for me. Mine has flowered by July both years I've done this. TBH it's not looking great at the moment as it was in too small a pot, but it is flowering well!
