    I put in a passionflower last year and did nothing to it once it had gone over. This year it has been amazingly profuse in its growth and flowering. What is the best way to prune it and, how do I take some cuttings from it?
    cheers folks

    I just prune mine really hard when it starts to look straggly and it just grows again next year, don't know anything about how to take cuttings though i'm afraid.

    I'd prune in early spring, if you can wait.
    As for cuttings, I find mid to late summer best, so its getting a bit late now.

    I agree with Stingo & pete re pruning.
    As for cuttings, we've done loads. Just snip a bit of and bung it in some water till it's developed enough roots to pot, easy peasy.
