Passion Vines are easy to grow and require little care once established. They are excellent for covering walls or fences and grow well in a container . They spread quickly and produce beautiful flowers in which some are fragrant. Passiflora is host to many species of butterflies and a smart addition to any butterfly garden. Simply provide a few Pentas for feeding, passion vines for the caterpillars, and you will soon have charming butterflies throughout your garden. Plant in well drained soil, use an all purpose fertilizer and wait for the blooms to begin around spring and throughout the year weather pending. Our blue, red, purple , and violacea remained in tact after a 30 farenheit freeze with little or no damage. Most passion vines take full sun but I recommend 3/4 sun and 1/4 shade . Full sun plus a lack of watering may attract spider mites. We use Safer Soap and spray as necessary. Once established the passion vine will require less watering.
