Until I recently moved house I had a passion flower against a semi shaded
wall in Stockport, my friend Sarah has one in a totally shaded spot, and my
parents have one in full sun over in Barnsley.

So hopefully all is not lost for those plants which are a bit dejected right
now!

We are not too far from Barnsley, and we inherited a passion flower when
we moved in last September. The previous occupant grumbled that 2002 was
the first time since he planted it (in 1994) that it had flowered. We
had a succession of single flowers (rarely more than one at any time)

Unless it performs better this year, it is for the chop: I hate lazy
plants!

I have pruned it back quite hard, and it seems healthy, Time will tell.
