Is this a perennial? I live in central Illinois. Will it take our temperatures?

It is supposed to. The surprise freezes killed it back. Just now it is starting to come back again.

i think it is. so far my plant is in my front window so it gets at least 6 hours of sun. i am seeing little shoots popping out of the soil. don't know if i shoule leave them.

it is a perennial, in Illinois you would need to grow it in a pot and move it indoors when temperatures dip below 50 degrees

My YT&T; planting is in Central Florida. Survived Summer. Just starting to Bloom. Plant now should be okay in Houston. As in Florida...Sun means not direct sun.

I am in the upstate of SC, zone 7 and we were below 10 degrees several days this winter. I had 1st year kiwi in the ground this past winter. I lost one, the others have come up beautifully.

I am going to guess no . its most likely been growing outdoors and ship to you . I am in zone 5 borderline for 6 .if you grew it from seed then you must harden it off . I bought my last fall its just getting leaves now in my garden .its a late spring . enjoy your plant !

I think that I read that you can use the same soil mix for up to three years, with no special care in the winter, from what I recall. But I'm not sure about perennials. Perhaps you could ask them on their FB page or e-mail them directly.

Hi. I'm in Ma. It will but while small I would keep it in a pot and bring it inside for the winter. Once larger you can leave it outside but you'd have to wrap it to protect it. They don't grow very fast.

If i am not wrong, isn't whole of Georgia more of a subtropic with mild winters ? this is a hardy vine, it does not need chilling/freezing hours either, it can very well establish as an evergreen vine, I have grown it in climates without chill. But make sure it does not get hot, it cannot take warmer climates ( anything above 90 F would be an alarm for me ) So answer is yes, if the summer gets too hot in there, then put the plan somewhere where it gets full winter sun but only partial summer sun ( like morning time only .. etc ) Oh also, without decisive winter, fruiting takes a bit of hit, but it does still fruit .hope this helps !!

I am growing mine inside and put it outside in the warmer weather. It does need a sunny location to flower but if you don't have that area the plant is still pretty. I live in MA in a cold apartment with very little light so it doesn't flower and I also forget to water it a lot and it has been a very forgiving plant but of course it doesn't thrive when I neglect it.

Yes. the internet says that it grows in zones 3 to 11. I don't live that far north but my winters are cold. Mine does fine.

If you are growing this plant indoor, the winter zone should not be an issue. Just as a reference, I live in zone 7 and still have problem growing this plant indoor. My plant from 9GreenBox is relatively big but I still have problem growing it. The have multiple failures so it probably has nothing to do with 9GreenBox.

Should grow fine. I'm in Colorado (Denver metro area) and haven't had a problem getting it to sprout & grow, especially on the North side of my house which is always in shade and has more snow until later in the year than other areas. My biggest problem was the lawn service cutting it down to their "normal" low height last season. For that and other reasons, I'll be doing my own grass this year. ;>

This plant will grow in zones 4-6. You should be fine with it. It will survive snow. It's a perennial. I haven't even planted mine yet. We have a frost warning for tonight. Crazy weather. I'm using it for around rocks in a rock garden to fill in the spaces. Good luck!

I planted my crocus bulbs about this time last year and I saw a few leaves this spring and that's all. No flowers, nothing more than a few green leaves. I live in South Texas (zone 8) so it's not the climate.

It's not an evergreen - I'm in zone 7, and the plant is doing well. A beautiful vine -- I had two blossoms this summer!

I'm hoping yes. This is my tree's first winter...in the garage in New England. That's about the temp of my garage too. It's supposed to be fine, but we'll see in a couple months.
