Crepe Myrtle not blooming

I took a cutting from a light pink Crepe Myrtle 3 years ago. I rooted it and grew it in a pot inside for the first year. I planted it outside last spring and the plant grew to around 4 feet tall but did not bloom. I transplanted it to a full sun location (where it only got noon and after sun). This year it grew to about 3 feet tall (I’m assuming due to the drought conditions we experienced here in Kansas over the summer) and it did not bloom again. Could it be that it won’t bloom ever because I started the plant from a cutting and not from a root? Or could it be something else? Thank you in advance for your advice.
