Just short of a year, but, timing and growing area affect its maturity. For example if I germinate the seed inside the house at the end of the active growing season (when the temps drop and the daylight gets shorter) they are ready to pot up and go outside by the end of January to to the middle of February. Then they will really grow strong in spring and summer. Sometimes they won't bloom until the following spring. You can tell that this is a young plant, that pot is only two and a half inches wide and there's very little caudex growth yet. It's really too young to be blooming
