Default Advice on which type of Passion Flower to go for?

Hi



I'm going to be buying a Passion vine and need to know which type to go

for that would survive cold weather.



It'll be kept in the wheelhouse of a boat which is un-insulated, so it

will be protected from the wind but the tempreture will be pretty much

the same as outdoors, which is pretty chilly most of the time. I'm

guessing during Summer it'd have almost a greenhouse effect for the

plant, if we manage to have any Summer that is.



Anyone know of any good types of vines that are pretty hardcore through

cold weather but still have the colourful scented flowers too?



Thanks in advance!


I cant advise on cold weather, as my area is mild/Mediterran.


However, my one experience with passion flower was that it got away on me, so don't know whether it would run rampant in a boat wheelhouse, or whether cold weather (part of year) would keep it under control.
