Mine grew to 8 ft last year in 3/4 sun on the north fence in Kansas, all the plants I have going are cuttings from overwintering.. the picture I posted is a very small cutting from a bloom tip last year, and it is in regular soil, ( alot of clay here) in a tall pitcher planter under the umbrella on the patio, the others are now in my two corner barrells as last year it grew to the neighbors side as well and it was a bugger to get out of the ground, as they do not live here over our winters.
