Beginner Gardening: Is my passiflora dead?, 1 by Fynci

Hi there, I'm very new to gardening and bought my first passiflora last year. I was told that it was a hardy plant that would grow and vine, which is what I was looking for... however, after the winter it still hasn't returned - there are no green leaves, and the branches look "dead" to me. What can I do? Is this a doomed project?

The pot has holes, it was watered over Xmas, and some plantfeed was put in the pot.
