Moving sea holly

When we moved plot in February this year, I re-sited the flower bed.  There was masses of sea holly (Miss Wilmott's Ghost, I think) so I dug up as much as I could and replanted some of it, gave lots of it away.  The plants don't seem to be doing much now - they have grown more basal foliage, but not loads. 

So months after having moved it, now I decide to research the plant and find out that the tap root doesn't like to be disturbed  ::)  Given that the plants are still obviously alive, my question is, will they ever flower again?  There are no signs of any flowering stems on them at all.

Thanks.

Give them time. They've obviously survived the experience, but they've had a shock. They'll probably flower as before next year.

Thanks Robert, I'll try to be patient - not my strongest point!
