She made one from scatch and dug it into the soil (yuk) and it flowered the very next year!
Seriously I think it is quite common for them to take up to 8 years to flower.

I have one and it flowered the year after planting. I've been advised that their roots need to be extra deep, as they like to be really cold and suffer if not planted deep enough when the weather is hot and heats up the root. If the plant is already established, you can try and remedy this by putting slate or bricks round the base to keep the roots cool!
