Oh goodness no! The German White foliage will get a good 4 feet high. I
usually harvest in early-mid August, after going to the Seed Saver's
Exchange gathering in late July.

Phew... you had me worried. ;-)

GW at 4 feet? Wow. I usually do German White, red and
Spanish Roja and they're usually 2 feet tops. I just looked
and they're currently about 12-15 inches.

What size bulbs do you get on those four footers?
