I used to grow Jan's Twister because it was simply a gorgeous spider/ UNF, and it
would fall over every year unless I staked it. I have also had a couple tets that were
lanky, but as a rule no problem. We often have lows in the upper 30's with highs in
the upper 40's and lower 50's (3 to 13C) and that doesn't seem to be a factor here.
Nikki, I know that you grow a lot of yours in pots, so I am curious to know if other
gardens in your area who plant theirs in the ground have the same problem? I do
know a few people in your general area there in Europe who have similar climates
who don't have a problem with growing dips or tets either one. Do you have yours
in a partly shaded area?
