    This is one of my favourite flowering vine. It's well behaved in our Zone 7b-8a, and has survived three winters outside so far. The lowest temperature we have got to in our area during those winters was -10C. It is well mulched. Vines with green wood dies down, but the woody vines seem to survive the call and sprout new vines in the spring.

    Did you buy it locally, or order it?

    Mario,
    I bought the seeds in a local nursery as part of a package which contained seeds of 5 other climbing plants.
