Got one at Whole Foods last summer that was about 3inches tall and grew it in containers through the winter- bringing it in only for freezes. I put it in the ground in my front yard a few weeks ago - it's about 1 foot tall and 18inches wide right now, but i'm hoping it'll reach full height by next winter. fantastic smell - absolutely intoxicating ! ! !
