real newbie question

19 years ago

I had never even seen a passionflower before and saw them in a nursery and HAD to have one. Now that I have it, what do i do with it? How much sun, water, temperature, soil conditions etc? I did a search on this forum and found nothing. Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide me with.

It would help if you could tell us what variety you bought. They are all beautiful and most are pretty easy to care for. You can be sure now that you have one you'll be getting some more. lol

Karyn's right--knowing what you have would help greatly with specific advice. In general, though, most passis like lots of sun and well-drained soil. Some can be thirsty, but if their roots a stuck in persistently damp muck, they'll rot and die. And passis generally need less fertilizer than other plants, although they'll reward you with lush vegetative growth if you feed them well.
