It produces vigorous climbing stems that can quickly cover a trellis, arbor, or fence, adding a tropical look and vertical interest to warm-climate gardens. \u003cbr\u003e\n This vine works well as an ornamental climber on supports and as a food garden crop where the tubers are harvested for cooking. It prefers a sunny position with consistent moisture and room to climb, and the twining growth habit means it will need a trellis or similar structure to scramble up. \u003cbr\u003e\n Species: Dioscorea oppositifolia \u003cbr\u003e\n Type: Herbaceous perennial climbing vine \u003cbr\u003e\n Plant_Habit: Twining vine \u003cbr\u003e\n Sun: Full sun to partial shade \u003cbr\u003e\n Soil: Well-draining, fertile, moisture-retentive soil \u003cbr\u003e\n Days_to_Harvest: 150-180 \u003cbr\u003e\n Zones: 5-10 \u003cbr\u003e\n Germination: 3-6 weeks at 70-80F \u003cbr\u003e\n Sowing: Sow 1\/4 inch deep, keep warm and moist \u003cbr\u003e\n Spacing: 12-18 inches \u003cbr\u003e\n Notes: Provide a sturdy trellis or support for the twining stems\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67663199207560,"sku":"EXGA-586","price":19.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/download_5ce477ef-36c1-43fe-a590-1cc92444edce.png?v=1791896006","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/5-seeds-dioscorea-oppositifolia-chinese-yam-climbing-vine-tropical-edible-heirloom","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
