I'm thinking about planting it near a window, about 2.5 feet from the house. The bottom of the window is about 3-3.5 feet from ground level. Is this a good spot where it won't need to be hacked back from getting too big? I can find a bigger spot if it can be expected to mush up against the wall or get tall enough to block the window.
Those who have had one for years, please share, and would love to see any possible pics of older individuals and their "situation."
And what has been the bloom period for your plant(s)? TIA!!
