I'm growing Dutchman's Pipe in the Pacific NW, zone 9. Local nurseries are growing it again, due to revived interest. I have 4 vines, all planted in containers. Two are a variety that produces a red flower. All are doing well, with over a foot of growth since planting in early June. I read conflicting info about planting in sun or shade, so I have them in both places. Moved the full sun plants after a week, due to some burning to a more protected area that still gets 6 hours of full sun daily. In my south facing garden, this plant prefers the partial sun location. Also seems to be quite the butterfly magnet. No blooms yet, but do have many pods coming on.

If your local nursery does not have, try Logees, or Google for a site. I saw several varieties available on line from Florida growers.
