Hello,

I would like to know if a Passiflora mollissima would work in a container with a trellis. I live a stone's throw from Golden Gate Park in SF and the crazy vines are all up in the trees along the south side of the park (and Strybing) so I know the climate is okay!

I only realized recently that these were passiflora! I have a large octagonal container (3 1/2 feet in diameter, 3 feet high) in an area that is faces west and is sunny for 5 or 6 hours in afternoon and warm against the house. It gets the wind so a Meyer lemon was not happy there.

Would Passiflora mollissima like a container, would it go too crazy? What type of trellis? I was thinking cone shaped? Does it need a lot of water?

I am very much a novice and am learning the limitations of my area of San Francisco...

Any help or advice is appreciated!
