I have a miniature Passiflora Citrina that is doing very well. I made it a copper round and it will soon cover it. Can I cut it back at this point? And if I do, will it keep growing leaves around the copper circle to fill in areas? My point is, it has reached max around the circle and now I want to keep it that way. Also by cutting it back will I affect the blooms? It seems to bloom at the new growth. Thanks for your help!

Dale if you cut it back, it will delay the flowering a bit, but it will put out new growth from the leaf nodes and these branches will flower. (that's how morifolia and sanguienta did)

Yes, citrina will sprouts several nodes below the cuts. Happy hacking!
