Million Bells that don't flower

Tampa, FL

Anyone have suggestions for getting Million Bells to flower?

They were flowering when planted (in December). The green stems are growing and spreading as expected; but no flowers. And I've fertilized with Miracle-GroŽ Water Soluble Bloom BoosterŽ Flower Food. Growing in sun, along both sides of the front walk. Get sun from ~ 8am - 3pm.

Live in the Tampa area.

Suggestions welcome.

Little or no fertilizer and they bloom best when the days are longer, summer.

I like coreopsis.

Little or no fertilizer and they bloom best when the days are longer, summer. I have seen them in the plant shops, in containers and they have very few flowers right now. They usually have lots of flowers when they are in pots. I have noticed that they really cover themselves with blooms June, July and Aug.

Maybe too much fertilizer. I plant mine with Osmocote for the season and they bloom fine.

Thanks for the info. They're starting to flower now. Noticed a 4 or 5 beautiful flowers on a few plants. Maybe I was a bit too anxious due to the great weather we had and was thinking spring was already here! Keep your fingers crossed for me....that they keep blooming.
