Dianna,

Pretty Cone Flowers! Mine never grow--as the few I am trying to establish are in my YUK bed.

Mine is in a 14" pot and has many. many stems. It is, by now, at least 2' high--
counting from the top of the soil.
I meant to un-pot it and clean up the root system, but never got to it.
so--now it is growing huge--again.

Mine gets some early AM sun--maybe you could move yours where it does
get a bit better light? They can take it! Makes the leaf-color more intense as well.

Because it is a big plant--I water it whenever I water my front beds.
However--Begonias can go dry and love it. Don't over-water it.
I seldom water it in the house in winter--and it still survives.

Went out and took a picture for you --just now.
Put the yard-stick in it--the highest leaf was qt 29".
