Sorry, I seem to have missed the original post. I found that
regelias can grow decently here in Cincinnati in Zone 5/6. Oncos
seem to suffer badly if there is a late freeze. But I *hate* to
speak authoritatively because I've really only tried a small handful
of the varieties that are out there in commerce.
Contact me offlist if you want some details on how I've grown my
regelias & arilbreds.
