3-n-1 Butterfly bush - only growing 1 color now

Hello all, just wondering if anyone can help me with a curious thing. I know this is technically a butterfly plant, but hummers love it too, so I thought I would ask this question in both places:

I bought 2 plants, 3 years ago of the 3-n-1 butterfly bush. The first 2 years they both grew and bloomed beautifully in all 3 colors (Purple, White,Pink) like this picture I found online:

But this past season neither of them did. One grew with only purple blooms and the other with only white blooms. They are both planted in full sun. Any ideas as to why they stopped blooming in 3 colors? And suggestions on why one went white, while the other went purple? Can I get them back to 3 colors? I never gave them fertilizer or anything. I just let them grow with regular waterings. Any suggestions would be appreciated. While the solid purple and solid white are pretty, the 3 colored blooms were AWESOME, and I want them back.
