The unexpected joy of growing Passionflower

I planted Passionflower without expecting much and it's become one of the most satisfying things in my garden. vertical growing habit maximising space in small gardens is something I couldn't have predicted from looking at it in a nursery. You only understand it once the plant is established and performing.

I keep it in a tree stump or old structure being naturalised which is perfect for it. pruning at the correct season for the specific variety was the thing I got lucky getting right early. peak flowering display in summer stopped me in my tracks the first time I saw it. pruning at the wrong time removing next season's flower buds is a real thing — just check regularly and deal with it quickly.
