We had hummingbird vine grow up from the seed this season.
It did very well, obtaining 6 feet high and 4 feet wide. My new guy question is: Should we cut all this new, now dormant vine back to ground level? WE sure don't want to lose what we have accomplished. Thanks cdwe@aol.com |

| I think they reseed. Though, I have no idea where you live, and that will be the deciding factor :) Christy |

| Found this... I need to get some seeds myself and plant them in my bird garden. The only thing I have in the garden in the summer that the hummers love is the Lucifer (crocosmia) and fushias on my deck in baskets. I need to add more variety in the garden itself. |

| Then according to the following site, they are only hardy to 9a. Sorry, they'll probably die off, but they should reseed, so you can grow again next year! Christy BTW, I have family from St. Louis :) |

| I am confused, when you say "Hummingbird Vine" is that just a general term for a vine that grows that hummingbirds love or is there such a thing as a Hummingbird Vine? I am going to grow Honeysuckle vine next year. Alabama Crimson (which is a hybrid of the native Coral Honeysuckle) and is hardy in my zone. Does that mean that this will not resprout on wintered over dormant wood? Or am I just confused about the vine the OP is talking about? Thanks all :) |
