    My passion flower looks a bit floppy and some of the leaves have gone brown at the ends or the edges - is this wind scorch? We had snow here in Exeter for the first time in about ten years (at this altitude) a couple of months ago. I'll try and get a picture up here of it later today. Thanks for any suggestions

    :wink: I think allot of people's Passiflora are struggling this year because of the earlier frosty snowy weather... They are surprisingly tough Saefreem so just wait for a while yet, but hopefully it will bounce back... Mine looks about dead at present, but when you look closely now you can see the new growth budding up a little now.. :thmb:

    Yes, I agree, it's early days yet for passion-flower. They do look dead, but it's amazing how they come back again.
