Neutral Marlina On Jul 26, 2009, Marlina from Blaine, MN (Zone 4b) wrote:

My husband just loves this plant. I am not as crazy it has big pea pod type seeds that pop all over and you have to constantly keep it growing where you want so it doesn't destroy trees or roofs. Also if you don't like bees we had a huge crop when they bloom. All in all I guess if it was like the honeysuckle vine and drew the hummers I would love it,but unfortunately it doesn't.
