No flowers

Question from Joanne

My Choisya "Sundance" is growing well, however in it's 3rd year in my garden and still is quite shy to produce any flowers. All other plants (clematis, roses, trumpet flower, trachelospermum, peonies, poppies, campanulas) are flowering to their max, but not my Sundance.
Why is that?
