You will need a significant amount of room. While it grows only 2-3 feet tall, its mature spread reaches 4-5 feet, so ensure you have enough clearance in your garden beds or large containers.

Consistency is key. You should keep the soil consistently moist, as this plant does not tolerate drying out well. Check the soil regularly, especially during hot, dry spells.

The plant will arrive at a size of 3-8 inches tall. It is young, so give it time to acclimate to your environment before transplanting it into a larger container or your garden bed.
