I found they did too well....lol
Jo, I wish you had been looking a year ago. I had to pull them out
of my yard and would have loved to have someone to give them to...sigh
A friend had given me three different varieties (all common to the
northeast US) from his grandmother's garden - white, deep lavendar
and light lavendar (sorry, don't know the varieties). I remembered
their propensity to form bushes so I paid more attention to trimming
branches rather than what they were doing within the soil. Before I
knew it, they had taken over my entire garden with runners and new
shoots.
They had sun from sunrise to around 1:30 pm each day and did very
well for the few years I had them planted. So I'm not sure why
Tomatolord told you that they do poorly.
Hope you find some. My neighbors miss picking them and I sure miss
their heavenly aroma.

That is a shame. I have seen them all over the place growing up tree's
and over my neghbors fence.They do take over, but we have forest behind
us and we were hoping to fill in some of the gaps with it.
I didn't get to go to the fairgrounds last weekend, but I will try and
get there this week and hope to find some.

Sounds ilke Wisteria to me, growing up trees, etc.
