Proper watering, fertilizer and prunning will produce flowers all summer long. When the flowers die, grab the stem right below where the flower is wilting away and bend it sideways and it will snap right off. In a few days you will see two or more new growth stems start and later more flowers. In Feb remember to prune the entire tree back at least 2 thirds of the prior years growth.
