New here so appriciate any advise.....

We planted some bluebells bought from a local garden centre, they
flowered the first year but we have had no flowers since. they appear to
be spreading and 'clumping' nicely but still no flowers. Any
thoughts????

the boarders are regularly fed and compost refreshed regularly.

We are at a loss, we would love some blooms......

how much sun do they get?

Good question to ask, but in our yard, (central New Jersey) they
run wild and bloom in the sun and the shade.

Wikipedia has this caution:

The bulbs produce contractile roots; when these roots contract, they
draw the bulbs down into deeper layers of the soil where there is
greater moisture, reaching depths of 10–12 cm (3.9–4.7 in).[8] This
may explain the absence of H. non-scripta from thin soils over chalk
in South East England, since the bulbs are unable to penetrate into
sufficiently deep soils.
