Alana - I had the opposite experience to Lisa. I grew it in my zone 9 home (yes, we'd think it was "cold" and heat our homes in the winter). Most people would say just chilly. Anywho, thought it was easy like morning glory. I vote - if you have enough seed - to just direct seed it somewhere now. Checked and Select Seed is one of those who popped up and recommends planting in situ. I'd heard it didn't transplant well so go along with that. The similarities between me and Lisa would be wet - my old area would flood in the streets in a wet winter and the ground stayed pretty wet. It grew fine with a dryer spring and summer but was definitely moist through the winter.
