Common Questions
How can I use passion flower in my garden?
These vigorous climbers are great for arbors, pergolas, trellises, patio containers, wall side borders, walls and fences.
What are the watering recommendations for passion flower?
Water your passion flowers thoroughly but infrequently. By encouraging them to reach deep into the soil for moisture, you help them develop a strong root system that can withstand droughts and frost. During the winter months, make sure to keep the soil relatively dry.
Do I need to fertilize my passion flower plants?
Use fertilizer sparingly, and avoid excessive manure or compost, as this can lead to abundant leafy growth at the expense of flowering.
Should I prune my passion flowers?
This vine can rapidly reach heights of up to 5 feet in a container and can grow 15 to 20 feet when planted in the ground. Avoid attempting to train your passion flower to remain overly neat and compact. Instead, let the branches hang loosely and droop slightly, as these are the ones most likely to produce blooms.
Will these blooms attract butterflies?
Yes, butterflies are very fond of the passion flower.
