I planted a Passiflora 'Incense' at our camp in zone 9a and it is doing wonderful. We only go every other weekend [about 12 days at home then go down] and I have a self watering pot.. http://www.rainbarrelsandmore.com/containergardening.htm#Sel... I water it very very good when we are there and it holds well in between. To cover the roots I have trailing torenia. Perhaps you are giving it too much attention and need to let it dry out a little between watering. When I planted it I spread some slow release fertilizer in the potting mix. It is usually thirsty when we arrive but not wilting.
