Default Ice Cream flower

My ice cream is starting to flower. The odd thing is I have a nice mat of ice creams but this plant is much smaller than the other plants. It is one of three main plants I purchased when I planted them together. The others are much larger. The only difference is this plant does get more shade. Any thoughts?

The plant gets a few hours of sun a day. The larger Ice Creams grew to 12 plus feet and reached out to the sun. This plant stayed about six feet tall. It is small for an Ice Cream. We will see what the fruit brings me.
