In 7 weeks, this plant has grown three times it's size. I can't get over it!! Outperforming my musa basjoo!! I have the brugs on a regular feed schedule ( a shot of the 20 20 20 every two to three weeks) and side dressed with compost. The flowers are few, I am hoping that if I overwinter it that next year I will have more. I have several growing. I have a few more growing like gangbusters (same size) but no blooms. :( Different leaves.

And I have another in a 5 gallon pot that is small, but put out a lovely pink/peach flower. No fragrance and not as ruffly but gorgeous.

Hopefully next season I will have learned enough to grow better. :-D

This photo (taken on July 21st) shows it a little smaller than three feet, but it has grown taller since!. The hotter it gets, the faster it grows. Love it!
