I can see why. Even though P. incarnata grows wild here, it is tricky to move and sometimes finicky about getting started. I had my vine going really well last year and then the end of the season arrived. So next year I will see if I was really a success with it.
I have this one down to try. I am also zone 7a but most places seem to be recommending zone 8 and above. Where do you have yours located?
