do these grow in the mountains? (6000 ft)

I heard about this and hear they reseed and grow easily in Mexico. They are in many Mexican recipes. I would think you would need a good hot summer season and a trellis situation. Save seeds and replant for warm season. Have not grown yet .

I've being growing these for decades, and my experience has been that this Caribbean native grows best when days are hot an humid. Perhaps great for the mountains of Columbia below 2000 ft.

They are native to a warm client. How ever aslong as it has stopped frosting, they will grow, at least some. Probably slowly, they are similar to cucumbers so if you have had any luck with cucumbers than these will probably work for you too.

I'm in zone 7B/8A and I've had some planted in the yard for about 4 years. Even after a winter where temps got down to the single digits, they always come back and reach 10-15 feet tall by mid summer. Zone 9 they should grow like crazy.

Mine are planted on a steep hill with all day sun. I don't know what would be premium sun quantity, but most of mine seem to be growing.

I just got seeds, they grew for about six months then all died. I'm guessing they didn't get nearly enough sun :(

I live in north Mississippi. Any thing grows here. Try it. It can't hurt and you will enjoy watching them grow. Good luck.

I don't think so. It says they are packaged in Fort Wayne, IN but that doesn't mean they are grown there. Hopefully someone else will know for sure.

I live in the mountains of North Carolina. Planted early after chance of frost and they bloomed late summer.

Yes, but they need lots of sun . Spritz them a lot . They will probably get leggy, sparse leaves though.

I live in Colorado foothills (5200 feet) and this was second attempt. It was not successful, they started well last year but all failed to come up this year. I believe winter kill, but not sure. I used planting directions from Ohio State, trenched an about 6 inches deep.

Hi Ron...I would think so...they are pretty hardy. I am on the borderline of Planting Zone 6 & 7, I planted them with Morning Glories...have AM and PM flowers. They are planted on the southwest side of my house. LOve Moonflowers!

I live in Fayetteville NC, zone 8. I received them in Nov(?) and immediately planted them in my greenhouse. They are already producing berries. I would think that they would do OK in your zone, they may need a little light shade in the summer.

I planted them in a planter and they never grew. I may have gotten a bad batch of seeds but they didn't work by planting them in a planter.

I really couldn't say. I have never grown these before. And, I have never been to Phoenix either. Sorry, Edie!

No just plant them. I got four in the spring two are doing real good, two have leaves but smal , two have nice and big leave. I put them in my house as soon as temp drop to 50s at night. They are in my utility room in front of a window now doing good. I thank they like humidity.

I know they grow in my zone 6. Why not ask the question of the person who is selling them?

I grew them in mid to late summer and it appears they did not survive the Minnesota winter as there is no life at this time. Not sure if they are supposed to grow until June. I also bought one in August that was mature with flowers and planted it. I wondered if it di not have enough time to root out in only 4 weeks.

I've had that problem also when I planted them in pots. So, as soon as I sprouted several seeds, I planted them outdoors when the danger of frost has past. Three actually grew to about 10 ft tall before winter came back.A friend actually grew them in her greenhouse in big pots. You could try doing it that way.
