Hi CADS, I grow mine from the seedling stage in a 3.5" pot - most are still in these now and about 10" high. One or two are just showing the first sign of flower buds. I've potted the 3 biggest on onto a 6" pots but some will go straight into the greenhouse border from their small pots. I have too many for my greenhouse (!) so some will be going into 12" pots - eventually. I like to pot on gradually so they'll have a time to form a good rootball in each size before going up to a bigger pot. This stops the compost getting 'sour' from being kept damp but without roots ready to take out nutrients. I'm sure yours will do ok if you're careful with watering.
