I purchased 2 of these a year or two ago, one is about a foot tall but this one has shot up and the root snaked out of the pot and into my gravel bed. I didn't want to break the pot so had to cut the root to get it out. I have now planted it in the back garden. I hope it survives but wonder how much bigger it will grow. It's about 4 foot now.

That's such a shame, Clarice. Both mine were in pots and didn't have any shelter during the winter months. I have left the smaller one in the pot but it hasn't any flowers buds on it yet. The big one has flowers forming and is almost the same size as my normal one that I've had for years :)

Good luck with beautiful Buzz.
They seem unpredictable how tall they will grow ...

I looks more like an ordinary one Gee. About the same size as my one, which is not Buzz. Did you cut it back like we do with a full size one? Maybe it's wishful thinking to have a true miniature?

At the end of last year it was half the size so I didn't cut it back, just took the spent blooms off. It seems to be surviving in the garden so I will definitely cut it back this year. The other one of the pair I bought is about a foot tall still.
