It can grow 6 feet tall, as well as around, in ideal conditions, so give it room when you first plant and moderate water.
It dies back in winter with a freeze, and with a good trim in the spring, it will grow really quickly.
The lovely green foliage fills in while waiting for the big purple show in the fall.
