Well..Kim... I'll venture a reply.. plant the ones you want to see do best on the south side of your bunch.. in the most sun... then just space them out as best you can.. they will all do something.. I guess I've planted them as close as two to three ft from one another in aline..if you were doing a block of them..perhaps a little further away from one another.. I'm quite spacially chalenged also .. especially considering the numbers of them.. here. I always get them too close....
in Panama they are sometimes planted as a hedge around the coffee fields to break the wind.. they are pretty close there.. and they grow much bigger there also..
with so many just spread them around maybe use up a few in pots you can place in another spot like a porch or stairway.. or out on the walkway..
in the ground already...well best of luck...it''s a bit early still here... although if wasto continue like today.. I'd be OK.. I did move my passifloras out today.. in another week.. I suspect everything will be getting close to b getting out also..
inside the smaller ones pictured..are at about 4- 8"apart...
