I staked a couple of them at planting but I didn't have anything for staking at the time.

The way I have most of them planted in one large hole and three of them making a triangle inside the hole, two in back one in front. Anyway with the way they are since I was out of stakes at the time I planned on making something to support them that sits above ground from deck railing spindles once they start growing.

I'll take a pic once I make them since my description is kind of blah.

All of them should get around 4 feet or so. They are all in full sun except for one set of three that in the mid afternoon get shade from my neighbors garage.

Will full sun keep them shorter?

In one of my flower gardens where I put a few dahlias, my Citron de Cap will get over 6 ft tall! It still gets lots of beautiful blooms, but only about 6 hours of sun or so, so they grow tall. They grow to reach the sun!

Attached are some photos from when it first started blooming. I have another dahlia-only garden that gets 7-8 hours of sun to full, and they won't get as tall there.
