I'm pretty sure I got these at Red Barn, which I always thought was a
pretty decent place, even though I guess they are a chain. You got any
other suggestion?

Red Barn is not a chain, it has three stores owned by the same people. That
said, how large is the plant you thought was dwarf supposed to grow to? Has it
far exceeded the expected height? If so, I would call Red Barn and question
them.

I checked yesterday evening to see how far off *my* estimate was... I'm
6' tall, standing right next to them they are well over my head. And
they're still sending off new growth shoots, so it doesn't appear that
they've topped out yet.

I'll check with Red Barn...
