Hullo all. Got bitten by the passifloras - a caerulea 'clear sky' and
a 'Belotii'. We've finished a 6m long pergola all along a south facing
brick wall with the intention to let the passion flowers climb on it
with the help of wires. I'm getting mixed advices about soil - loam
rich but well drain, or sandy but moist, prone to frost but hardy. We
will have to pot them, we can't plant them. We thought large wooden
trough - is plastic better? And I suspect terracota is out of the
question because of the winters, even though I'll mulch them well and
will protect the roots. We will need to leave them there - we won't be
able to bring them indoor in winter.

Any advice from experience would be very very much appreciated. I'm
eagered to get going. They are really beautiful speciment, about 2m
each already. Thank you.

(ps. Given up on hops and vines - our recent Napoli trip has given us
need for climbing flowers and bright coloured fruits, and lots of
them ;o)
