I grow it here in Texas...in fact I'll post a pic of it here. Looks pretty "ratty" right now...planted this wonderful vine in early July; it bloomed continuously until we had a cold snap in November. Others say it freezes to the ground here but if its really heavily mulched it will come back (note the mulch is about 5 inches deep under it).

It does have the most heavonly fragrance and scents the entire garden for a good 30'. I got mine at a locally owned garden center. They started out in the spring very pricey but I waited awhile and they started marking them down. I grabbed it and haven't regretted a moment of it. You have to train them where you want them to grow and this particular (sad tho it looks now) plant has grown 4 times as big as it was and bloomed profusely and continuously until Thanksgiving.

I would heartily recommend it. Ecolage has them too I think.
