is it maximiliani you are referring to?  I had a similar experience with this 
plant--puny and weak when I put it in the ground.  Shot up to 6-7 feet in a 
good sized clump with many stems in one season and bloomed with small 
sunflower-like flowers in profusion on each stem.  I actually ordered a 
second one when I thought the first wouldn't survive.  So this year I needed 
to get rid of one of the giants and it broke up some when I pried it out of 
the ground.  I took the loose stems and potted them up too and after a few 
days with regular watering they stood up straight.  I suspect this plant is 
very hardy and tough.  Mine has not spread seedlings.  YET.
