Could I ask how much you paid for that? I'd appreciate it!

I paid about $10.00 including shipping.

I planted it in the spring, and had beautiful blooms that late summer.

Here's a link to a thread about it. (edited to add link)

Thanks. I already have some, just curious what they were worth as plants as opposed to seeds, in price.
Happy gardening!

Hello, I have a corkscrew vine I need to tranfer to a larger pot for the trellis I ancored it on is to big. The vines on it are not quite dead and not quite alive. How do I move it or prune it without killing it? Is it the type that will grow back if I completely cut it down? Help

I just bought one of the bare roots from the MTJ Foundation too (Cost has gone up= $10 + $6.95 shipping). I'm guessing that I should plant it with the sprout part up, but am not sure since some plants defy logic. Can anyone confirm/correct that notion? Also, I plan to plant it in the ground and then dig up the root in the fall. Is this plan good, bad, or ugly?

Thanks!
