When I got these they were bareroot and about a $1.00 each if I remember correctly. The pot were $5-6 apiece. So I ordered the bareroot plants. My ex-wife teaches horticulture and I asked her if she would grow them out for me, which she did. Next year I will order more but order in February so they will be ready to plant in March.

The leaves and tender portions of the vines are an important source of browse for several species, but it’s most often noted as a highly preferred, practically year-round food source for deer. The seeds are utilized by several birds including mockingbirds, wild turkey, and quail, but because of its variability in fruiting, the seeds normally only make up a minor component. Due to its vigorous growth when exposed to sunlight, and its clumping nature in the vicinity of fallen or logged tree tops, the “viney” clumps provide escape cover and food for rabbits. The nectar from the yellow to white, showy flowers is an important energy source for hummingbirds, moths, butterflies, and other pollinating insects.
This is the one I saw
