    Usually a problem with pruning wrongly or maybe it's been stressed by the droughts last year and earlier this year.

    I also thought lack of water would cause lack of flowers, but @janine.howell didn't mention the leaves and surely they would be wilting if water was an issue. I am more inclined to go with wrongly pruned now - could that be the cause perhaps?

    Thank you for your replies. I think it must have been the pruning but I don't remember doing anything different. Will it come back next year?

    If the plant doesn't flower next year, and you haven't pruned it in the previous 12 months then you will have to consider a different cause @janine.howell I don't know what else to suggest apart from pruning or lack of water.
