Good morning all. First time posting to this board. I work in NYC and was walking through the Flower district (what's left of it) when I heard my name being called out followed by "buy me and take me home." A beautiful passiflora. I've been meaning to get one of these beauties for quite a while.
I've brought her home on the train (there is nothing better to start conversations than bringing home a large plant on the train)...and I'm ready to get her into the ground.
I had a patio clematis that got killed off in the April freeze and my intent was to plant her in that pot. However I've made another spot next to my chimney which gets alot of sun and will hopefully provide the warmth she needs to overwinter in the garden.
For starters I've got a 5 foot trellis for her to latch on to...she's about two feet tall right now with many many blooms.
Is this trellis going to be sufficient? If not...can I let her gracefully drap over or should I give her a trim at some point and let the new shoots provide the flowers I'm after? How high is she going to get? I'm after flowers, not fruit.
What do you think of my idea to plant her near the chimney? This spot is right next to our vegetable garden and gets terrific sun. I'll mulch her over for the winter and, combined with the heat she'll get from the rocks of the chimney, do you think I've got a chance of her surviving the winter?
Many thanks for your responses.
Ciao,
OITGAD
