Thankyou Canna, catztail and Roslyn.
Cant be grown from seed Roslyn, only from cuttings.

Love it, is it Kewensis? where does one obtain cuttings from???:D

If this is your "next to fave Passion Flower", what is your fave?

longk, my favorite is Alata as you know.But mine has died back to the root this winter.

That's what I seemed to recall. Did yours flower outdoors in 2012?

I've never flowered alata outside, in fact I've only managed to get really good flowering once and it was a few years ago in my conservatory where its warm in winter.

Pete was type is this.. I'm desperate for something like this!

Stephen, I have a couple of plants overwintering, once growth starts I could take a few cuttings, but it would be July or August by then. The name is "anastasia", not hardy but able to take quite low winter temperatures.

I was thinking og something similar for a sheltered frost free area you see :) Looks like a stunner really!

Its a good one, once established, I find most passion flowers really need one season to either fill the pot with roots or get established in the ground, its not a great climber, I find it trails better, although it does have tendrils.
Frost free would suit it well I think.
