I got one of these from member SteveL. So far this year it is only a little over 1' tall despite watering it almost every day and I've also fertilized it several times already this year. I agree that it is slow, at least for me. I think it may mostly be due to the drought we are having in SE TX because I talked to Steve the other day and he said his is doing great. Also, mine was just planted back in April, so it's probably still trying to get established whereas Steve's is already well established. I remember last year, I the one I got from Steve seemed to have a bit of trouble unrolling the leaves and would fall over like mentioned above. Mine did bloom last year, though it was really late and the flower was more orange than red, possibly due to the weather conditions.
