As Charlie says, April was far too early - they really like to be warm.
I wouldn't make a habit of letting them wilt ;-)

I don't get flowers until I've shoved mine into the soil in the front
garden! They seem to take forever to grow then suddenly put on about 3
foot a day! Mine are now up by the Bedroom window and lots of flowers
coming .

Yes, mine too. I know they are "late developers" and don't plant too
early. I have some in a big pot at the base of my wisteria, and now
the first flowers are showing at about head-height and I have hopes of
more. Planting early doesn't seem to pay off.
