That was a bummer...It picked up a bit near the end of summer. I grew it in a pot--so maybe that was the problem. Yurs looked amazing, Holly. Yours was, most likely, set into a pile of your compost. YUMMM. Did you gather any seeds from it? I did--you know me--I gather seeds from everything... I do not have enough to put on my Trade List--but I have enough to give you some--if you want. I did take some cuttings last fall. There were so many new vines growing out all over the place. Most of them rooted, but than, over the off and on care I give anything, all but two petered out. The two are doing well--at least they have a full root system. Not much top growth. One "runner" on each that I have had to cut back as it wanted to twine around all kinds of things. Not sure I want to grow it again. There just wasn't enough bloom. I only have 2 pots I could grow it in, and the one is in sparse AM sun--need something for shade there. Ideas??? something on a small trellis... The other one will, most likely, have my Moon Vine growing in it. This is a pot by my steel pole in the middle of my back lawn. The pole holds my laundry lines. I hang my Epis from it every year. It is always such a priority shuffle in my garden...what to plant where....how to divvy up the space I have... I have to deny myself things I would like to have--as I have no space. This was in September of last year. All green...... |
