Sounds about right, BigDog. The pot is a 14" pot and the pstem with the bloom is right at 3' to the bloom. Oddly enough, I have only fertlized this one once this late spring with a time release fert with minors and a little muriate of potash... I think the biggest factor besides the soil is the amount of water that I give my plants. I water often, but the soil, even in my beds is very fast draining... Hey, I am still learning, especially with potted plants...
