I have a gigantic geranium, but it isn't flowering. The foliage is huge and healthy, but no flowers. What kind of fertilizer? or does it need it?

I'm actually not too far from you in San Marcos. I have three Geraniums. One is in the shade and has tons of flowers. The other two are in full sun and have NO flowers. I'm writing this on 3/23/2011. Perhaps they like shade?
Good luck!
Hi. I live in South Australia. I have heaps of geraniums growing. It's the one plant that grows well here. From what I've learnt is they grow well all year round.
my geraniums have foliage but no flowers. what causes this?
I use just normal Miracle Grow once every 2-3 weeks and I use it as a "liquid feed" (in other words buy a container, mix it with your water). You can buy general "flower" granules (they like phosphorus) buy water before and after putting the granules on (read the container, too -use as directed). Once they start blooming, you know you have to "dead head" them to keep them blooming or they'll stop.
You could be feeding them too much, thus encouraging leaf growth. This often happens when the soil is too rich.
I have a geranium with lovely foliage but no flowers. It used to flower wonderfully. I dont feed it that often. I live in South Africa in a tropical Reagan.
