We had it for 4 years now, it is on an umbrella trellis and the perfect plant for it. Blooms, although mostly on the side opposite my patio, so my neighbors get to enjoy it more than we do. Did bloom 3 times last year, though, and is a reliable re-bloomer. It is getting full sun, and one does need space for it. I found it's long roots under my forsythia plants.

Plant gets mostly full sun, some shade in afternoon. General site is HEAVY clay, though it has been highly amended.
