Can you not dig up a bit from somewhere if you break up the roots into lots of small bits it will all grow

Must admit we are an odd bunch wanting weed seeds most gardeners want to get rid of them

i get loads in my garden, comes through the fence and i have it growing up a trellis in the adults garden, i would go find some and as Gordon suggests dig it up by the root and plant in your garden

Am sure my mum would give you some she is forever trying to get rid of it, she might be a bit far though...

i would put money on you being able to take cuttings and have as much as you like.

Ha ha, people have warned me seriously not to introduce it as it strangles everything & is nearly impossible to get rid of... umn I will have a think, thanks.

It does take over if you let it but it can be controlled
