It tends to bloom in flushes rather then the non stop of in ground plants. It also will stop if disturbed by either repotting or- and I have seen this- knocked over by cats. That was enough for it to stop for a few weeks.

I find myself Penny trying to tie things down,put blocking rockwork or even try various wire fencing to keep cats away. I'm getting better at it and far more creative!

Eh,dont want that- I could get poked. I tend to forget things like that. Cats seem to stay away from various wiry things bent to discourage them from walking around or over.
