A nice plant you have, I cannot grow it in my garden as the soil is alkaline, I would have to put in a pot or raised bed.
It will have white flowers, I would have thought that these will appear shortly although they do not always have a lot of flower.

I thought I could see some buds in your picture, Phil. At about 9 o'clock. looking at your picture like a clock face.
