maybe its too small and young to flower this year, I'd look after it and feed it next spring potash is for promoting flowers but if its a young plant maybe a balanced feed first for all round growth and then a high potash feed. don't feed in the autumn as you may cause a growth spurt of soft foliage which can't survive the winter

I agree, they normally make a lot of growth the first year or maybe second before flowering. Cuttings I have taken of several in the past do this always.

Have you fertilized your plant with a high Nitrogen fertilizer, if so this will encourage follage to grow at the expense of the flowers
