Have you got the deciduous or the evergreen one nanamorb. Doesn't make a difference to the flowering but I'd just like to find someone else who has the evergreen one
Don't panic nanamorb, it will flower eventually but they are notoriously slow growers to begin with. Once it establishes itself in a couple of years it will take off and flower every year.
Patience is the one virtue you need as a gardener - and one I never had until I took up gardening many years ago - you just cannot rush nature and that is all there is to it! I've still no patience with much, especially myself, but have learned that if it takes 7 years for my special clematis to flower ( and it did!) then 7 years is what it will take, and there is b***** all I can do about it - other than rip it out and put in something else, thus losing the delight of what I was waiting for in the first place!!

Yes, I'm sure it will - they're pretty reliable - but it needs to grow up a bit as yet

Thanks everyone! Guess I will to be patient - not one of my qualities, especially where the garden is concerned

I am finding my patience improving with age!
My Mother's rhyme was:-
Patience is a virtue
Virtue is a grace
And Grace is a little girl who wouldn't wash her face.
