You can 'grow' them but it is highly unlikely they will bear fruit. You may get lovely little yellow flowers but as I said, no fruit. IF you have the ability to start them early indoors they sprout and grow quickly. Remember they need at least 12 full weeks of full sun to bear fruit. Either way these are easy to grow and will supply you with a beautiful lush green vine. It is easy. Have fun, I did! (zone 7 here, lush vines, sweet little flowers, alas, no fruit). Good Luck, Gerry

I do not think it will get warm enough to grow until late spring through to Oct. in Zone 9b
