Expert Response
Yes, all plants need to reach maturity before they bloom. Some long and some short. There are sometimes other environmental factors affecting plant flowering, day length, temperature, etc. For this plant, accumulative temperature may be the key for flowering. Putting it in the greenhouse in the winter increases the accumulative temperature.
