And a final comment....

I grow larger-leaved Passifloras (like the P. edulis 'flavacarpa' pictured below) in 12" pots. For a trellis, I use a tomato cage modified a bit at the base to stick in the soil. An occasional clean up and wrapping in of the new growth keeps these vines looking great. And they look dramatic in the garden.

One of my big plans for the gardens this coming season is to include more Passifloras in 12" pots, for (hopefully) dramatic effect. To that end, I am planning to pot up a half dozen or so species/varieties into 12" clay pots with tomato-cage trellis' in the next couple weeks. A big job, but hopefully it will pay off!

Marie, I heartily encourage you to add Passifloras to your garden! Good luck to you.
