This isn't really an answer to your question. Just wanted to say that I had the same problem this year. I did have a few flowers but they were very sparse. For a change I had tried a different type - can't remember the name - but they were all supposed to be the same kind of salmon pink. Mine were in a very large tub with a wigwam - looked after very carefully and like you, lots of greenery but very few flowers.
I think I'll go back to the usual type next year!
