Young Magnolia tree "Star Wars" not flowering

Hi all,
Any advise on growing a magnolia tree. I bought 2 years ago, from Notcutts, as a young plant. So wasn't expecting much in the 1st couple of year.
This year again, nothing has happened regards to flowering. Do they take a few years to produce flowers?
It's planted clay soil with mulch on top, in a north facing front yard. So it gets full sun in the afternoon and evening.

Mine is on a north facing bank which does get a decent amount of sun. Rhododendrons planted elsewhere on the same bank at the same time have done much better so I think it isn't a problem with the site or soil, just a slow growing plant.
