Hi, everybody--

Need your thoughts, please?!

I bought a potted wooly pipevine last fall at the native plant nursery here and over-wintered it in the pot.

Now it's green and has some leaves but doesn't seem to be growing much at all. ---Repotted it in a pot about 16 inches across and 16 inches deep in a sunny space.... I fertilized it with Miracle Gro Garden Fertilizer--maybe the wrong thing?

I thought these things were rampant growers and hard to kill. But maybe not? Any secrets to share?

I want the swallowtails to come!!

Here it is a month ago, and it's still the same size...
