I'm in 7a and Incense hasn't survived the winter here but we've had some colder then average winters the past few years. $35 for a gallon is a bit high but the free shipping might be worth it. I would think you can find it for less somewhere else though it probably won't be a gallon pot. There's some reliable passiflora sellers on Ebay and Grassy Knolls has nice passion vines. I got mine from a friend.

Karyn, I guess if Incense didn't survive for you there, it really wouldn't here. Thanks for the tip. I'll have to check out those places online. You're lucky you could get yours from a friend...a lot cheaper that way. :)
