I have one of these planted near my pond area in a well drained sheltered location. It was browsed by deer the first year to a height of about 18" tall and has not grown since, in fact it appears NOT to have changed one iota in the past 4 years! Don't know why - it just keeps on as it is. Other than that, it's fine, but because of it's pecularities, only gets a neutral rating from me.
