I live in central Illinois. Obviously I'll need to wait until warmer weather to plant my wisteria...IF I can get one that will grow in my region, (Growing Zone 5). Will the Black Dragon grow here? What if I tried to grown it strictly as an indoor...

I'm not sure about growing wisteria in zone 5. I'm in Texas (zone 8,) and ours is growing very well. I imagine, if you were very dedicated, you could grow a wisteria as a bonsai inside... But on its own, wisteria gets big. It's not just a flowering vine; it can be tree-sized. The stem is very woody, and can become quite thick and strong. I don't think it would be happy inside. It needs to climb, and I've seen wisteria climb several stories into trees. The best advice is to carefully read the description of any plant you buy and choose for your zone. Wisteria isn't something that'd be easily brought indoors for the winter, either, since it is an aggressive climber. Perhaps if you had a back porch... Where the wisteria could climb, but you could warm and protect the plant inside the porch? Perhaps planted in a big container that you kept reasonably warm over the winter, on the porch, and allowing the outside ends of the vine to die off? The Black Dragon is okay in zones 6-9. Zone 5 gets too cold; I'm sorry. I don't think it would survive the first winter outside. Good luck!

o, please ignore previous answer! I was answering about another packet of seeds I bought. most of these seeds should grow in warmer climates, you would just start planting earlier than you would in a more moderate to cold climate.

I tried growing it indoors in idaho and it grew very slowly until it had two nicely grown leaves above the cotyledons, but after that, it stopped growing and died. i am not en expert, so maybe i did something wrong. do a lot of research online to be sure you will be ready to grow this plant outside of its native habitat.

Yes! We live in upstate NY. I bring my plants in during the cold winter months. I place them under simple round grow lights. They did well this last winter. They need a about 6 weeks of cool fall evenings (around 40 degrees F) without freezing temps. in order to flower.

We planted ours up in Northern Arizona during the summer. Depending where you are at in Texas will determine how well it will grow. I think if you are in central Texas you might have a lot of success. Our clover came up really well once the summer rain started. We will have snow in the winter, but it comes back quickly each summer and flourishes. This seed was excellent and I will be ordering it again next spring.

That's where they should grow best. Especially northern Midwest and Canada. This was a very small plant they sent though. The one I got did not survive.

Zone 9 is within the growing zone for this plant (zones 6-9) and this is the zone for Phoenix/Scottsdale. See http://www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/PlantFinder/PlantFinderDetails.aspx?kempercode=q280. I'm in Texas Zone 8 and the plant is happy growing on my fence in a lot of sun. You might want to watch how much sun it will get where you plant it as you are hotter than we are here. Asking the grower is probably your safest bet. Keep in mind it's a perennial and dies back when it gets cold.

I live in middle TN & our weather is similar. Put in a large pot , leave it on a porch out of direct light in the summer, and bring it in when the temp starts getting cold (about 45F). It should be okay. I had surgery & wasn't able to bring mine in this winter & it died-my fault. I will get another one in the spring. Also, they are not very big plants. Be sure to google search for the right amount of different soil: high grade potting soil, mulch & I think at least one other. You can buy these at any place that specializes with plants. Just mix them up & plant- DO NOT OVER WATER. Good Luck!

Actually, I still have it in a really big pot. I've been meaning to plant it near a fence, but haven't done it. I think it's suffering in the pot, but now it must have a lot of roots, so I'm going to have to dig a really big hole. In the pot it has mostly gotten wide, not tall. I'm a little disappointed that the stalks are still very skinny, and only one is actually black at the moment. I guess I'd better plant it!

Not to be an ass here, but does no one have access to the Internet to search and investigate? So, to do the work for people, here's the information on this particular tree. I would suggest one looks up any plant for it's success in their yard: http://www.pfaf.org/user/Plant.aspx?LatinName=Eucalyptus+gunnii And to answer your specific question, no, for zone 4-5, and starting it indoor to plant in zone 4 or 5 would be pointless.

I live in north west Alabama where the temperature always drops below freezing in the winter. I plan to bring the pomegranate inside this fall. It is outside now in a large pot, 28 April, and it is growing very well. If the grower expects temperatures below 40 deg F, bring it insideJohn Phillips

I live in zone 9, but googled your zone for black bamboo. It's not recommended, but they list others more suitable to your cold winters.

Allison, contact Joel immediately. Use only distilled water, not spring water, not tap water and water it in a saucer. Fill it up about 1/3 of the way. That being said, did you check your email? Joel sent a detailed email before our plant arrived. I contacted him a few times and he was extremely helpful and fast to respond. Here's his email address: JoelsCarnivorousPlants - Amazon Marketplace lk5mjrd052j6cyv@marketplace.amazon.com I cut and pasted his directions in the initial email below: I will be shipping your order to you Saturday. Look for it to arrive in your mail beginning this Monday. If you have cold weather forecast for the next few days please be careful to take your order indoors soon after it arrives and not to leave it in a mailbox outside overnight if you receive your mail in a receptacle that is outside so that your plant will not be damaged/killed by frost. If your plants are damaged by frost anyways in spite of my best efforts at timing the shipping for your order please let me know asap. If it is below freezing where you are at your order may come with a heat pack. The heat pack is a white bag with red line on it. This heat pack is not part of the potting soil. Please be careful to NOT mix it in with your moss that your plant arrives with. If you are purchasing this as a gift it will be important to pot it up right after it arrives rather than leaving it in the box it came in for a while. If you purchased more than one plant they may be wrapped together. If you have any problems with your plant(s) or its shipping please feel free to contact me. I'm here to help. If you like what you see when your order arrives you can see more Carnivorous Plants that I have for sale here.--&gt;

I have three of these plants that are in their first year of growth (South Florida). Heat, humidity, full sun, no problem. Growth is rapid and currently they are flowering. My research indicated that these plants are hardy, even for short periods of time at freezing temps. San Diego would probably be an excellent environment to grow these wonderful berries. Good luck and post a follow up in six months to let us know.

i planted mine in the ground and it isn't doing well. It survived the winter [Waco area] but has not put on new growth. Bugs have eaten some foliage. If I had it to do over I would plant in a pot.
