In the greenhouse mine was only a sparse offsetter. There was never more than 2 plants in the clump. I kept them in there because I was uncertain of their hardiness.

They were planted right against the wall, my sidewalls are 12 feet. using that as a guide they were easily a total of 15 ft. That's another reason I removed them...the bloom was way up there and hard to see. Not like other smaller growing ones where you can really see the inflo.

They have been hardy here, but they are a bit slower outdoors than they were in the GH.
