Which is one reason it is a good idea to pinch off the blooms as well as helping the plant stay bushy. I put mine outside this summer and it is now about 3 feet tall. I took some cuttings and rooted them and the big plant is going to a friend that has more room than I do. I hope you enjoy your plant.
