Great alternative to other non-native vines like wisteria or honeysuckle. Hoping to get some passionfruits as well this fall!

Edit: as a commenter pointed out that is in fact a carpenter bee not a bumblebee.

I was finally able to grow three of these from seed this past spring. I'm very excited. The two survivors are waiting out the heat wave on a windowsill. Any tips for a first timer who doesn't want to kill them? I plan to transplant outdoors a soon as daytime highs drop below 90F.

Yeah that sounds like a decent plan to me although im not an expert. From what I've seen and read they are very heat and drought tolerant- haven't watered them at all despite it being a blistering summer in NC and they've done great.
