This is a lovely plant that grows tall and falls over. I planted four of these plants to help support them and they all flopped over. If you really want to grow this plant you will need to use wire support to keep them upright. If you have a tight space that needs a specialty plant, this is the plant to buy. Otherwise, I would buy a more structured plant that can support itself.
