This year, the plant is 5' tall, but we've had a lot of rain. Last year it was 4' tall. I used a cage and a tall wooden stake.

I notice that sweat bees really like my MR blossoms, and they pollinate by chewing the anther cone, which often exposes the stigma and makes crossing more likely. Does blush have similar flowers? If so, maybe the sweat bees were trafficking back and forth between the plants, even though they were far apart.
Regardless, sounds like a beautiful and delicious surprise! Take some pics for us if you can.
