Default Apios americana

Anyone growing this in the UK? I could do with some tips on likes and
dislikes, Huge amount of info on growing in the US (not surprising as its
one of their natives and a major food source) but I am wondering how much
shade and moisture it needs.
Not intending to eat the ground nuts it produces but I thought the smell
from the flowers in late summer when I came across it at Rosemoor, was
wonderful.


Can't help with info, but it sounds fascinating, so do keep us up to
date. In addition to the tubers, does it also bury its seed pods? Off
at a tangent as usual, I've often wondered why so few familiar plants
adopt the Burrowing Clover tactic of sowing their own seed in this way.
