Hi Nan,
Thanx for your question.  Well, I'm stumped too.  If the plant appears healthy, it should have bloomed the second season and subequent seasons.  The only other thing I would recommend is adding a fertilizer low in Nitrogen.  If you have too much nitrogen, you'll have more green.  Look for something higher in Potassium and Phosphorus.  Get a fertilizer rated for flowering perennials instead of Micacle Gro or balanced fertilizers.  I hope this helps.
