This may be a stupid question from someone who only has one yellow "don't know the name" but quite lovely brug, but if I buy one in a four inch pot that is about 8" tall, how quckly can I expect it to grow? My yellow was planted last October and took a huge beating immediately from horrible winds. We thought for sure she'd die and I was totally upset since I picked it out special at the nursery, but turned out to be the little brug that could! I babied and babied and refused to give up.

It will have to be in a pot, because my yard is not huge and my husband already thinks I'm "plants berserk", so I'm kinda hoping that I could plant it small and have it take a couple years or more to grow big ~ you know, kind of sneak it in through the backdoor. I just think the pinks are so beautiful, I've GOT to have one.

This picture is from mid-March when she finally prove she'd survive - her first bloom:
