Hummingbird Bush 'Compacta' (Hamelia patens)

Houston, TX(Zone 9b)

Anyone know how quickly this shrub grows? I am interested in having it to put as a centerpiece in two of my beds. I found a place that has it in a 4" pot. I don't mind letting it grow, but don't want it to take 3 or 4 years to reach the 3-4" height that it is supposed to get to.

Also, if anyone has grown this one and has any negatives about it, I would like to hear it.

I have found Hummingbird Bush locally, but I don't think it is the dwarf and the regular one is too big for my spot.

Thanks.
