Looks healthy to me!
As far as I know, the only "secrets" to this one is plenty of sun and room to spread. This advice given by Primlarp, on her Face Book page.
I think many may start them too early when water temps drop down too far at night and the plant just refuses to grow. Just a guess on my part, but it comes from watching mine grow during the odd-ball weather in my area, lately. From Primlarp's remarks, I also think that this one might not bloom if it "feels" crowded. So far, mine have not spread beyond a total of six feet. At the moment, I can only provide a maximum of 8 feet, that being the diameter of their kiddie pool. Hope it is enough.
Now for the really hard part.
Sit back and wait!
