6 plants in database
Dioscoreaceae in this database spans zones 5-11 with 6 species, so design it as a guild component instead of a monoculture block. Use its strongest role (Ground Cover) intentionally and manage spacing for airflow because there are 4 recurring pests in this family. Anchor it in the Vine layer and pair with unrelated support species in other layers; if you save seed from multiple cultivars, isolate flowering plants to reduce accidental crosses within the family.
