    I think you've hit the nail on the head - it's been growing lots of new roots and getting established image

    Mine is tucked away in a dark spot.

    I was digging over the soil near it the other day and the fragrance from it was heavenly.

    image I missed that you said it has berries - obviously I didn't look closely enough either image

    I have confusa facing north and it didn't do many flowers in its first year. Now that we are in year two, it has lots of small strong smelling flowers and a surprising number of black berries, far more than I would have expected based on the number of flowers I thought it had produced!
