TropicMan, last year, I moved the brug in the photo I have attached, stuck it in the ground and walked off, there were only a few sticks coming outta it, I never dreamed it would live. Went back in the late fall and it was 10 feet tall and blooming. That's when I found DG. This year, I covered it with the cypress mulch and it froze to the ground, yet again. The photo attached was made the first day of June, 2004. The wood fence is 6 feet, and it sits on a cement ledge that is about 8 or 10 inches. So, I'd say the plant is about 6 feet tall in the photo and at lease 10+ feet wide. Oh, and BTW, something happened during the winter and now it is two plants, instead of one. It has buds but it's leaves were damaged by a crop duster this week, after I took the photo, so I don't know how the buds will react, but if that had not happened, I would say it would have bloomed by the middle or possibly end of June and if it keeps growing like it has been, I'd say it would be 6 1/2 or 7 feet tall.
