    These shrubs or small trees are grown for their form and foliage and may take time to mature to flowering.   Try giving it a slow release feed of blood fish and bone with a booster of potash/potassium to encourage flowering.    You can also water it with rose or tomato food or maybe some home made comfrey tea as these also encourage flowers.
