NO FLOWERS on Sweet Williams

Last spring I planted some sweet williams in memory of my mum she loved them, but they never flowered at all, I fed them and they grew infact they were massive, they did not even die during the winter, Do I need to take these up and replant with new plants? and what can I do to ensure I get flowers? Thanks for any help

If they are healthy I wouldn't dig them up. They may be one of the biennial varieties, which bloom in their second year; there are numerous varieties of Sweet Williams.

Be sure to use Blooming type fertilizer. Too much nitrogen could have been reason for "massive" growth without flowers.
