Mary,

leave your malva fastigiata in one place for more than one season.  It will
bloom; but if you're stressing it by moving it every year, it may end up
sulking a season before blooming.  Another thing is that these are very
short lived plants.  What may be coming up the next year could be a
seedling from the original plant.  I get volunteers from this malva in the
most unusual places.  These seedlings won't bloom the first year for me,
but the following year they will grow in leaps and bounds and have loads of
blooms.  Again, I give it no care and it is growing in full sun in amended
clay soil.  I end up having no volunteers in the shadier areas of my yard.

Give it a chance and see what happens.
