| I planted Apios americana probably 20 years ago, from seeds I got from LSU. I did eat some of the tubers then found that it was getting a bit weedy. I'm in the colder part of Zone 5, and the tubers have survived to below minus 25 degrees F. Nowadays, the bed where I planted it is a flower bed and I just try, unsuccessfully, to weed it out. Occasionally I'll search for some tubers but haven't found any, probably because there's a lot of competition for light and nutrients in that bed. Very occasionally the plant produces some very fragrant flowers.
