It can take a wisteria several years to flower. Mine (also bought as a sapling) took six years before it flowered, (that was last year) this year, it only had two flowers on it!

The old one in my garden that was there when we moved in, flowers like mad every year withoug fail and it's too high to ever be pruned. My new one is pruned and coaxed and talked to (only joking).

There are thoe who say that you should only buy a wisteria when it is in flower, so that you know you are not buying a dud.

Exactly like what Jalopeno says :-)

I think it's probably just too young, still, but the RHS also has a little extra advice here that might help it get going:
