Acanthus mollis

I have five seedlings from a test germination, and am wondering how fast 
these plants grow.  I am hoping they are slow growing because I do not have a 
lot of space to keep them over our long Minnesota winter. 

I soaked 5 seeds in hot water for two days replacing the water every 12 hours 
with new hot water, sowed them by covering the seeds about 1/4 inch deep and 
kept the pots at F 65.  Germination started in about four days with the last 
seed germinating in about ten days and now one week after germination I have 
one fuzzy "leaf" from each seed coming out of the ground.  It looks like this 
is a plant that produces a deep tap root right away.
