I deadhead. I leave a cutting in a southfacing basement window all
winter. It doesn't grow very much but it survives OK.

I finally found a good reference to the Passion Flower in a herb book last
night (I had no idea that's where I should look for it -- duh!) and it said
it actually grows a fruit. Have you ever tried it? The book said it was
rather tasty.

Also, have you ever tried wintering the vine outside? The book said it has
to be mulched well to survive but, wow, it doesn't seem to me that such a
delicate flowering vine could survive to -20F. You're closer to where I
used to live (Niagara Falls) and I would think it *might* survive there but
here, on a hill in the middle of Indiana, I have my doubts.
