Alliums not blooming

I planted giant alliums several 4 years ago.  I had very nice blooms for 2 years.  Since then they have had no blooms.  For the last 2 years they have been producing a lot of healthy looking foliage but never bloom.  They are in sun.  Any ideas?

    Are they planted deep enough? If they are shallow, they split and form a lot of bulbs but not a lot of flowers.  A bit of a feed once they start flowering builds up the bulbs faster.
    You don't stop doing new things because you get old, you get old because you stop doing new things. <3

    Thanks!  I think I'll dig them up and replant (making sure they are deep enough), divide, and see what happens next year.
