This is an easy to grow, hardy plant. In southern Louisiana, in three months, this vine grew seven--eight feet. It died back to the ground during winter and came back full again this spring.

Searched for months for this plant at local nurseries, Lowes, Home Depot, and others. Finally found two poor looking half dead plants in an abandoned grow house for $5.00. Took them home and planted them in full sun next to my chain link fence at the property line. I mix 80 pounds top soil, 80 pounds humus, and 40 pounds of aged cow manure for planting medium. Grew over ten feet in 4 months, bushed out very well with numerous streamers, and bloom continuously here in the Texas Hill Country north of San Antonio. They don't like too much water. The deer think they are delicious! I had to hand twine them at first. Supposed to be toxic but I handle them all the time with no ill effect.
