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--
