Growing Jerusalem Artichokes, also Sunchoke

I planted Jerusalem Artichoke in February. It is now April and the plants look healthy but have only reached about 1 mtr in height. They reached this height quite quickly but have not moved for about 4 weeks. Is this natural? Thank you.

There could be a number of reasons including; a dry spell, cooler weather, planted late in the season, etc. but if your plants are healthy I don't think you need worry.
