First Time Growing

15 years ago

This is my first time to try growing the passion flowers (they are so beautiful) Husband built me an harbor for them to grow on but what wire is the best for them to cling to? We have some thet is about a half inch square but I thought it would be to small for them to reach and cling to. I only have 4 plants - also does anyone have any suggestions for the first time grower in centeral texas?

They'll cling to just about anything, so I wouldn't worry about that. What you have sounds just fine.
Since you live in a hot area, I would stay away from the Tasconias and and other cooler climate loving Passies. If you don't have any books, you can find so much information online about the different types of passion flowers. Some easy vines to start with are: P. Incarnata, P. Caerulea, P. Lady Lavendar and P. Vitifolia. Those are the easier ones to find too.

A great place to start some research is:

Good luck!!!
