Yeah, this is one of my plants. They're a little bit fragile as seedlings, but they grow like weeds once established.
Most commercial growers "top" their plants so more energy goes into the leaves. They'll also spray chemicals on them to keep them from "suckering" or sending out additional flower heads. I usually just let them flower so I can collect seed for next year.
The flowers on this cultivar aren't as pretty as the ones I've grown on Virginia and Burley types in previous years. I think I'm going to grow one or both of them next year. There are also ornamental varieties that are just grown for their flowers.
