Caterpillar control?
If you can encourage paper wasps to nest near the vines, they will keep the
gulf frittilary larva population in check.

i have a passionflower vine that is doing great this season after not doing
so hot last year. I think it will finally bloom this season, if I can
keep
the caterpillars off of it. They tore it apart last year and even though
I
was checking daily, they still were winning the battle.
My question to the group is, aside from keeping an eye out for them and
squashing them and/or using pesticides, is there any way to keep them off
of
the vine?
