I dug up my largest v. tapioca last fall, and overwintered it indoors under florescent lights. I cut it in half, and within a few months, it started sending out new shoots. I planted it outdoors in early May, and it's loving our heat. These plants rarely exceed heights of 7-8' - because they're so brittle and lightly rooted, they break and get blown over in high winds.
