Default Why won't my clethra bloom?

I have 2 Clethra plants that I purchased and planted about 10 years
ago. (at least) The local nursery from which i bought them suggested
these shrubs for my shady, acidic site in zone 5. One should have
white blooms and the other should have pink blooms. They have grown in
size and are nice and full but have NEVER bloomed. They are planted in
an area that is not wet, but also not too dry. Does anybody have any
ideas for me? I am considering replacing them with a different shrub
but if they bloomed, they would be perfect.
Thanks in advance.
