Is it outdoors as the North east seems a bit too far north for it to survive reliably outdoors, some are quite hardy, but the majority of the passiflora are frost tender. Mike |

It's P. caerulea, the only one hardy enough for most of the UK. If its top gets killed by frost, it will reshoot from its roots if it is in a suitably well-drained, deep soil. Mine hasn't flowered this year, for some bizarre reason, but my P. c. "Constance Elliott" has. It is almost certainly a complete loser in heavy or shallow soils in cold areas. P. incarnata will always die down and reshoot, but MUST have some protection from the winter wet in most of the UK - given enough of that, it will take any temperatures that the UK has seen in the past 10,000 years. Mine is in the rain shadow of the house, and likes it; I and many other people have failed with it in the open (sandy soil in Cambridge is too wet!) Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

I wouldn't bother feeding it, as it will merely encourage it to get out of control - it is a fairly vigorous plant. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
