Watering

Moderate regular watering, avoid prolonged drought and stagnant waterlogging

Fertilizing

Balanced perennial feed every four weeks spring through summer growth

Pruning

Routine pruning is unnecessary; shorten overlong shoots to fit the available space. For last-year flowering growth, prune after flowering; for current-year flowering growth, prune in late winter or spring. This guidance is for established plants.

Propagation

Propagate by seed, semi-hardwood cuttings or by layering in spring or autumn

Growing

Grow in a conservatory or frost free greenhouse in a container of loam-based potting compost in full light, with shade from hot sun. See passion flower cultivation
