I live in North Florida. My Passion flower is growing profusely, with healthy leaves and lots of vines, but it's only produced 3 flowers, and they were early in spring. I thought I would get flowers through the summer! We have had a lot of rain this year. Could that be the reason I'm not getting flowers? I'm ready to cut it down!

Haha! I have to chuckle about this plant! This is my second year growing this plant here in Jacksonville, Fl, zone 9a. Mine are monsters! Covered with flowers and covered with butterflies of all kinds! I grow them for my Monarchs, but the swallowtails, zebra longwings, sulphurs, gulf fritillary, moths and bees are all over it too! I have to trim the lower branches once it gets to 4 or 5' tall to keep it from just lying over completely. Every day I deadhead and I'm saving those for the seeds. Be sure to plant yours towards the back of your flowers but where you can get to them for pruning! It's a joy to watch the life they bring to your garden!
