Q: When can I expect them to come out of dormancy? I ordered 5 back in January and I assumed they were sent dormant because they were 6 inch long leafless vines with well established roots. They have been outside for a few weeks now. South Carolina 8a. Thanks.

We've never tried to grow it from cuttings, but there's no reason you couldn't give it a shot. It will begin to send out underground runners in a few years that you could also try transplanting.

We grow it from seed, which germinates fairly easily. Sow the seed between November and February in a large pot. Bury the seed about a half inch and water it. Left outdoors to overwinter, the seed should germinate around May. It may need to be protected from mice or other varmints if they are lurking about.

Accepted Answer

A: Yes, it will grow in fairly heavy shade.

It will survive the low temperatures that occur in zone 10 (30 to 40 degrees F) and temperatures that are colder. I believe the hardiness zones developed by the USDA reflect a region's extreme minimum temperatures. There are other factors that can influence the success of a plant in areas where it does not grow naturally.

We do not ship live plant material to California or Florida.

Accepted Answer

It has a woody stem that can be more than an inch in diameter. It can spread by seed and by underground runners.

Accepted Answer

A: No, we cannot send live plants to Florida.
