It's still not too late for flowers, a high potash liquid feed might get them going.

I'm absolutely sure they will flower soon, and early August is hardly too late. Our problem seems to be that our sweet peas flower and then we miss picking of the dead flowers and pods so that they stop flowering.
It's good to have some things flowering late to get late summer and autumn flowering.
Give them sufficient space in a pot; you don't say how many plantlets or in what size pot. But I'm sure you will get a good display this summer. After all, that is what plants grow to do, especially annuals.
