Have I made a mistake planting this vine? With runners that long, will it take over my flowerbeds? Oh, I hope not.

PA, no nightmare for you. I am in Iowa and they can't winter over here.
As for San Antonio. I grew up there and I tell you I would have this growing EVERYWHERE if I could.

Quasy, thanks for the info. I did plant some and they have not been a problem because they did not overwinter. The blooms are so lovely.
