zone 6 and above, the vendor I bought from did not send Hikodo seeds, they were regular ice box size striped melons. very dissatisfied with them.

I was able to grow them successfully here in South-Central Idaho, Zone 6a. However, I started them inside a greenhouse and then transplanted them at about 30 days. They averaged 15 to 16 pounds and were, in my opinion, true Hokkaido watermelons. They were sweet and a bit "crisper" than most watermelons; however, the downside is they are very seedy. A 15 pounder averages over 800 seeds, compared to a Saldana Crimson Sweet (220). By the way, the seeds are huge, twice the size of most watermelon seeds. Though I imagine, they would be great seeds to use in a Seed Spittin' contest.

We planted in mid April in zone 5. Some came, but had unusually hard rains and a cool spring so I am unable to give you a good answer. I would rebuy.

Hi Carrie :) I live in the Lancaster are of PA...we are about what I would call zone 5.5 :) They grew perfectly well...and they even sprouted in the dead of winter in my greenhouse ( which is kind of chilly in December). Go for it :)

Sorry, I don't remember where they were grown. I gave them as a gift to a friend who does a lot of Thai-style cooking, and she was very pleased with them

I am sorry, but I haven't planted them yet and do not know any more about them than what it says on Amazon. Good Luck.

Do you have a warm very sunny place to put them if you plant them if so I would go ahead and plant them if not I would wait and place the cuttings in a cool place until spring. I am certainty not an expert on these but, this is what I would do if I had just received them. Hope this helps!

With the right type of soil they will grow anywhere. May have an issue in northern US or Canada with the shorter growth seasons. No instructions for growing are included. You will need to do your own research on best methods. We grew several types in planters in the backyard this summer. All grew well and we are near the US border in the center of Canada

I planted my plants, I had three, in a area set aside along our building. Each plant got the sun for 2 or 3 hours a day, otherwise it is a shady area. I would not plant these in a total shady area. I hope this helps.

I live in zone 7 and they are annuals. No change in the winter, still green. Full sun or shade is fine. Mine is in full sun. Follow the planting direction and you will be fine.

I don't know. The plants grow in the mountains of Japan, which are cool. My plants made it through aSan Francisco CA winter, with night temperatures a little below freezing.

It is generally a zone 8 plant this may be a hardier varitey. I generally dig my bulbs up in the fall and bring them in. Here are some links that may help. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saffronhttp://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/PHZMWeb/

The Persimmon tree can be planted in growing zones 7-10, sometimes with great care it can be grown in zone 6B. With the way the Winters have been in the NorthEast I would not plant in the ground.

at least 7. this is essentially a tropical plant. they grow well. anything under zone 7 will have to be brought in for the winter.

They should grow great there. Like others have said, you will need full sun (at least 6 hours per day,) for bloom.

I've had mine approx. 2 months. Planted in small pots. 6" d x 6"h. I will transplant to bigger pots later. I have three that are leafing out very well already, at this point I think the fourth still will. Planted them in Miracle Gro cactus, palm and citrus soil. We are still having signs of winter where I live so they have not been outside.
