o.uk...
We have three tender passion flowers in pots in the conservatory -
passiflora 'incense', passiflora alata and passiflora racemosa. All are
growing vigorously. Incense and racemosa flowered last year and this
year. Alata still shows no sign of flowering.
Any suggestions?
Thanks you,

I don't know alata but some passiflora are not keen on heat (you tend to
find them growing higher up where its cooler and moister in warm climates)
and abort flower buds when too warm. I find the exoniensis in the green
house always flowers better in spring and autumn often goes out of flower in
summer. So maybe its been too hot for your plant this year?
