wrightie,

I grow all of my Passifloras in containers, generally 12" clay pots with a slightly modified large tomato cage as a trellis. It makes them easy to care for - you can turn them, trim them, keep winding them into themselves so they don't attach to other things, move them at your whim and, most importantly, easily bring them indoors for the winter. The biggest challenge is anchoring them against the wind.

Here are six of mine out in the front of my building. To the left is 'Lady Margaret', 'Blue Bouquet' and 'White Wedding', and on the right is 'Indigo Dreams', loefgrenii and 'Purple Haze'. It's aVERY overcast day here.
