I've grown them. Just got a pack of seeds from Parks a couple of weeks back to grow them again this year. August is when I saw the flowers which are very lovely and unusual. They have a nice purple color to them.
They grow about what Al said (6-8 ft). Tolerate drought and love sun (at least 50% of the day). Their root system is compact and shallow so a pot would be ok, I can see 4 of them growing in a 12 x 12 x 12 pot, if you could put a drip waterer on them it would be ideal. They'd be in full bloom along with chrysanthemums, Asters & Golden Rod.
