Ask-a-Dave's-Gardener: No growing points, 1 by CreamOfTheKrops

I have a gourd plant that developed seed leaves, but had a damaged growing point and has been growing nothing but roots for a few months now. Other seeds planted at the same time are over seven feet tall now. I wonder if there are plants that could last at least a year or so with out the leaf/leaves getting all ratty like my gourd? I think that there is a heart leafed Hoya like this. Please let me know what you think.
Thanks
