Eddie,
 
I have grown Akebia for many years.  The plants flowered every year but never produced any fruit.  Last year I was visiting a friend who had fruit on his Akebia vines and apparently their are male and female Akebia vines.  They are easy to grow and keep in place.

You might check with your dept. of Agriculture. In several eastern states Akebia is classed as an invasive weed. Vines can grow 50 feet or more and can layer themselves.

I will be moving to a new property soon, and am thinking about what to plant. I like fragrant flowers, and the Akebia vines in the Raintree catalogue cot my eye. Does anyone here have any experience with them? Are they easy to grow? I'll be in zone 6 in central Kentucky.

I'm also looking for some old-fashioned Tiger Lillies. I am having a hard time finding them. I'm looking for orange lillies with the brown or maroon spots. Does anyone know of a source for them?

Thanks--

Eddie Earles
