      Thank you so much. I seem to have had this in my garden for 2 and a half years and it hasn't flowered from the pods. What do I do to look after it or make it grow back please?

      It must have flowered to produce seed pods the flowers are quite small for the size of the plant. When i have had them in the past i have not done anything special and they have flowered ok for me.

      The flower stems are old ones and the pods are seed capsules.
