Passion flower vine - Pruning
After sitting there sullenly for a season, my passion flower vine has taken off running. It is on the West-facing side of my garage. I have trained it by those little stick-ons where you can thread a twist-tie through the stick-on and around the vine. The vine is reaching the top of the garage. I can train some of the branches around the front (should be pretty!) but what to do about the rest that will be climbing on the roof? IOW, looking for info about when to prune, at which point in the vine, at which point in the year, etc. Personal input appreciated, as well as referrals. So. Calif coastal, Zone 24. Tx!

Just wait until those roots that are growing as fast as the vines begin to shoot up runners where you never expected any. It took me over 5 years to rig 50 sq ft of passion vine roots.
