Can you please tell me what this plant is-had no flowers yet-been in 3 years

Question

Can you please tell me what this plant is. I bought it from a garden centre 3 years ago, planted it out but so far no flowers! Not even buds.From my memory the flowers were yellow.
So what is it and what am I doing wrong?

Thanks

It can be hard to tell, but it looks like a yellow anemone flower. Usually the cause for no blooms on these plants is over-fertilization, particularly, nitrogen.

If this is any soil that has a slow release nitrogen than this is the cause. You can supplement with phosphorus and potassium to help correct this, but they do best in poor soil.
