  Just wondering what kind of conditions you have? We have a lot of strong
winds here, especially in spring and autumn, so I put my Sarrs. behind a
windbreak. They still get blown around a lot, but the wind doesn't knock them
over. The only time mine fall over is when they fill up with insects and
start to die off.
  Since we have a lot of windy days when the plants are producing new leaves,
perhaps they grow up more robust? I have some plants in a glasshouse, and I
don't think their leaves would last long if I put them outside.
