Lady in Red questions

1. The tag that came with my lady in red said their height reaches 12-15 inches. As of yesterday my container LIR are as high as 33 inches while the garden LIR are as tall as 36 inches. Obviously, they have all grown much larger and wider than I expected, although I'm certainly not complaining. Is this huge discrepancy due to my periodic use of fertilizer or did the commercial grower just wildly understate the plant's size?

2. I am currently collecting LIR seeds to plant next spring. Will these flowers come true?

3. Does it matter if I collect(and sow) seeds from the long, dense, very healthy bloom spikes vs spikes that are less impressive?... even if they are on the same plant?
