I never did get any cuttings to root. It has died back for the winter. If it comes back and remains variegated, then I will try again. It was so lovely and so unusual. The variegation started out yellowish when the leaf was young and as the leaf got older it got whiter.
This is wild!
Bugger! Keeping fingers crossed it comes back.
Ditto. Spring seems to be the best time for getting cuttings to root for me. If it comes back, I will attempt to root multiple cuttings this time.
Woops...
again... they might have more luck with tissue culture than your rooting...
I believe this is one of the reasons certain plants are developed this way..
just dificult to propagate...
but if it doesn't come back it wouldn't be as attractive a plant.. still beautiful that first year though.. it works here..
all the best there for the New Year.. on all fronts of this beauty..
could try to bring in a cutting and overwinter it indoors and share asa little as possible so someone with a greedy eye out cannot come along and create one stealing your thunder.
Caught the end of the thread there when I saGordonHawks name attached took a look, his advice is spot on (not that I would know) BUT sounds To the ''T''
Good luck, Rylaff!!
Peace & a Happy New Year!

Are there any updates on the Passiflora?
It died back over the winter. I am anxiously awaiting to see if it comes back and if it maintians its variegation when it does.
Lisa, it will come back - it just HAS TO!
Has it come up yet? :)
nothing yet.
Any updates yet?
Gone forever. It never came back. Sure was pretty while it lasted.
So sad, it was pretty
Had that happen with a variegated p. lutea.
Could it be a temporary viral infection that causes the variegated mutation in a few leaves or within a certain plant, but doesn't carry forward as a genetic change? I've heard from a friend that has a professional setup for at-home tissue culture that variegation can be difficult to retain in subsequent generations.
edited to add: My single instance of a variegated Ipomoea cairica morning glory vine also didn't seem to hold onto the variegation when it returned after winter.

I was wondering the same thing. that is why I was anxious for it to come back. However, it did not.
