Hi Eric! WELCOME TO DG!

And it looks like we're neighbors!

Passiflora alata likes a nice balanced plant food. If you grow it outside in the ground you'll most likely have to dig it up and winter it over indoors. (An easy way to do this is to leave it in its pot, bury the pot in the ground...then when frost/freeze threatens pull up the whole pot.)

It also tends to bloom on new growth so keep that in mind if you decide to do any pruning.

Hope this helps. Alata is one of my most favored passifloras.
