The three I have planted elsewhere have kept relatively in the 8 foot area. They do send out a long vine here and there but nothing like this one. Those ones you can just curve the vine to control it. This one is bigger than the other 3 combined. The other 3 have plenty of space to grow too. This thing is just a monster. I'm just trying to keep it from taking over the grass.
