No regular pruning required, however if necessary for size and shape maintenance it’s best to trim your Passiflora back in late winter or early spring.

Latin name: Passiflora Common name: Passion Flower Supplied in 9cm pot Characteristics: Semi-evergreen climber, scented purple flowers in summer/autumn, loved by pollinators, suitable for containers, perfect for wall cover, low maintenance Plant advice: Your Passion flower will thrive in a position that benefits from access to full sun or dappled shade. Use a moist but well-drained soil composed of Chalk, Clay, Loam or Sand. Quite tolerant of most pH levels, however the optimal pH will fall between 5.5 - 6.5. Water deeply, but infrequently - this will encourage the plant to reach deep into the ground for water, and help develop a strong root system to sustain them through cold weather or droughts. In colder areas, best grown in a container or overwintered indoors.
