AuntAnne - Wow! That vine loves your garden, doesn't it?! Very pretty I. indica that's for sure! Love all the blooms all over it! But I can see how aggressive it is in your garden. Not good.

I have some that I am growing in a 5 gallon container. I am using the 3 pole teepee set-up. I am training mine into a standard-like topiary. I saw how aggressive it grew when I first got the plant from Emma. It is definitely one that you have to keep an eye on and prune, prune, prune. (Or at least wrap around and around itself at the top so it doesn't wander off. lol Mine seems to grow 6" a day ... no lie! Unbelievably fast growing!

Maybe come Spring when yours start sprouting, you could dig a few up and tranplant them to a container and then remove and destroy the rest to clean up your garden bed.

Here is a photo of mine in the container.
