Yes. I am quite chuffed that I seem to have worked out how to grow
Passiflora incarnata - I don't get a lot of flowers (and no fruit),
but it IS on a north-east wall. The key is to grow it in the rain
shadow of the eaves, just like Cyclamen coum, but with the ability
to run its root out to where the rain falls. It took me quite a few
tries to work that out!
