It seems like it may be possible if I start them indoors for their growing season. Besides being way up north I have an east facing though and my suscpicion is its really unlikely they would go the distance from what I read. To few days with too little sunlight. Im still tempte though because being vines it sounds like I could do a decent sized pot and let them just climb on the balcony rails.

The shorter days could make it harder. I’m in Zone 10b/11a with lots of sun through the summer. My plant got a ton of harsh sunlight and held up well, while some of my succulents burned.

Last year, I grew it in a large pot, then used an upside down tomato cage for it to vine on. I used garden staples to hold the tomato cage in place.
