    They are getting too much nitrogen. This happens when there are more roots than foliage, which is common in the situation you described. Add some phosphorus to the soil to balance the nutrients. You may also want to consider root pruning the plants.

    Try adding some phosphorus rich fertilizer, such as bone meal, to the soil to promote flowering.

    It sounds like they need more water. If they are in the ground, I would recommend watering for longer periods of time on the same scheduled as you have now. If they are in containers, I would recommend watering daily, even 2X daily in those kinds of temps.

    I would go through and trim it all back. This way you can at least see what you have to work with. Also, remove any weeds that may be present. Division is a good idea and will help immensely.

    You may be lacking phosphorus. If there is a lack of phosphorus in the soil, plants will have little to no blooms. You can either use a phosphorus rich fertilizer or add some bone meal to the soil. This article may help as well:
