Cupseed is a vigorous native woody vine best suited to naturalized garden settings in the southeastern United States. Plant it in partial shade with consistently moist, well-drained soil and provide a sturdy structure for it to climb. It is rarely found in cultivation and requires little intervention once established in an appropriate woodland-edge habitat.
