I did stake it. I didn't have to that today and the stake doesn't go very high up the scape, but it gets really windy here most of the time and I assumed it probably would do that today, so I put the stake on it. I don't think this seedling has anything like true growth yet. It's fairly recent to being alone in a bigger container. I didn't expect it to bloom at all, frankly, and in another season I'd expect the scape to be both taller and stronger. It's not very weak as it is, but our weather has been fractious lately.
