My brother and I have marked the trellis and watch hourly to see if it has grown. So far (two days in the ground) it has grown about the height of a flower bud. Rolling on the floor laughing We're waiting. I paid $10.00 for mine in a one gallon pot. It was absolutely stunning, just covered in blossoms and buds. So far it has not shown any sign of wilt after being transplanted so I guess it must be a very hardy plant. Mine is planted along the wood line, right up against the woods. The sun comes up behind the woods so it's in shade most of the morning and only gets full sun in the afternoon. What I have been reading about it says that it will thrive and flower well in full shade, part shade and full sun. If planted in the shade, the leaves are supposed to get large. I'd like that as even when it's not in flower, the green leaves will help fill in that bare area and provide nice, cool interest. Smiling
