What FDA growing zone are they for? Will they survive zone 6a?

No, they are a more tropical plant. I'd say plan on keeping it indoors. They don't get very large as an indoor plant, about 12" high or so. They like lots of light and humidity and warmth.

Yes, it is hardy for zones 6-9. If you keep it trimmed to 6ft. you will limit your blooms as it matures.

As far as I can tell these seeds are fine. We are currently using them and planted them last year as well. If you want to, you may want to check out publications like Mother Earth News to get more background on seed (companies). Through that magazine we have started using Southern Exposure Seed Exchange because of their reputation (and they are in NO way fully or partially owned by Monsatan, Syngenta, Cargill, etc)

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.

Hello these will do well in many areas. I am in New England and its the third year. We got a fairly good yield even though I did not weed and take care of them as we'll as I should have. we are in zone 4. They are worth waiting for. The best asparagus I have ever had. It is definitely some work getting started...

The package I received has an expriation year 2012. I will be using it this spring 2014 when I plant. I am not concerned since the packages are well sealed and kept in a cool basement. I expect the spores to store well as packaged. I can respond better at a later date on how things turn out.

Definetly! Just plan according to your zone climate as far as timing goes! I live in Pacific Northwest were it's cooler snd everything is thriving!

I'm in central NJ, and mine has put on huge, lanky growth 1st year summer (4' unbranched mostly-sessile shoots). We'll see how it likes zone 6A winters.

I have no clue, but I haven't started glowing or turning into a walking fish yet, so I think I'm good. I've grown ones very similar to this before, the only difference being that they were hot instead of sweet, and they've always done well. The ones I ordered this time around are coming along nicely under a lamp on my desk, and should be big enough to transplant as soon as the frost date passes. I'll be saving seeds, so I'll know next year whether or not it's a stable variety. Plus, if they were GMO, I figure some big company would be protecting the heck out of online sales by third parties.

From what I understand, zones 7-10. I do believe that they do better w/a Winter rest period. We've had a VERY cold, bitter Winter in North Georgia. The leaves are gone and I'm hoping the plants will come back.

In climate zones 9-11 they can be grown outdoors year round although they can become invasive so be aware of where you sow your seeds; any climate zone colder than 9 can be grown as an annual outdoors (or simply brought indoors for winter). They should tolerate average indoor room temperatures fine, just be sure to use soil which drains well that doesn't compact easily and have it where it can get lots of light with some direct sunlight.

Because of one of our local growers I was told it could be in my 4 zone... that is all I know. Sorry there wasn't more info.

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!

They just keep growing. If you live in a cold area in the winter- important to protect the plant. they are a great plant and they work so nicely.

I live in Homestead, Fl and mine are doing really well. I planted mine along my fence and 6 months time a few of them have quadrupled in size. They are doing much better than the honey suckle I planted.
