Hm, that's too bad, but they are sort of brittle when they grow up that fast! I broke one of my shoots off this spring as well, and it branched, then flowered. So don't worry! But you're going to have to not worry about it getting tangled, too. It's just that kind of vine. The single shoot goes up, then it branches when it gets ready to flower and does sort of flop over. No plant is perfect.

Good growing on getting it that tall. Mine go up to about 6 to 7ft. then they start flowering. I'd advise you to give it a shot of half-strength fert, make sure it's in about 1/2 day sun, and let 'er rip. They're vigorous and they multiply, too.You should have a couple more tubers in that pot by fall.

Mine are in the ground, and in 4 years I've gone from a single tuber to at least 8 that are putting up shoots. Plus I sent a couple away on a trade to another DG member in April, too. This is my clump, been blooming off and on since May.
