NOTE:  Sometimes advertised height size of a plant is misleading.  A 3' plant is usually too small for a 1 gallon pot and is more than likely rootbound.  (Nurseries end up with plants too big for the pots they're in because of inventory that doesn't sell before the next growing season arrives.)  The roots of rootbound plants take longer to "break free" and begin growing.  Such plants tend to sit in the ground for months without much top growth.  It's much better to have plants where the roots have not totally filled the pots and are a bit loose.
