We grow ours in the g/h border, Nick grows them with 18"-24" space each side of their stem (depending how vigorous they look), but not in a straight line, more a zig-zag along the border. They can grow about 24"-36"-ish high. We tend to do what we do with toms and take off their lower leaves and thin them out if they start getting to 'choked'.

Here's this years in 12" pots waiting to go into the g/h border.
