I have one (clump) that is only just over 3 metres (10 feet) that has been flowering for years. This year it's been flowering for the past few weeks (still our winter), and usually keeps going throughout October. But it never gets temps below 10C (50F). And I've never given it fertilizer. A lot of nitrogenous fertilizer can promote growth at the expense of flowers.
