Passiflora passion
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) |
