Dear woofie, I use pots that are 12 inches in depth! They can soon grow in them and that is what I give them away in as well. The pots I use were originally meant for growing or potting on grape vines in, but I use them for passion vines, Clematis and kiwi fruit as well. They are not overly wide at the top just deep!
Regards from England,
Neil.

I haven't seen pots like that; I'll have to look around!

Sounds like what are advertised as "tree pots" used for starting cuttings, seeds, etc. of trees. (an example picture here: http://www.stuewe.com/products...).

When starting P. incarnata here, I just yank up a shoot I do not want and plant it in a 1 gallon nursery pot. Almost 100% success in previous years.

Oh, those look like the very thing! Thanks!

Dear twitcher, they are very similar to the ones that you most kindly put the link on for! Grape vines can grow quickly so they were meant for them, but I use them for other things as well.
Thanks.
Regards.
Neil.

p.s. Clematis armandii the evergreen scented Clematis leaves!

I have five small rooted cuttings that are planted in four inch pots. They
are about 10-13" tall and are showing new growth now. I could send them
to anyone wanting to have them. The blooms are the same as Neil's.

I think it's to late for me to get them going in the ground.
I'll leave them to those that are set up to carry them through the winter.

Let me know in the spring if you still want to grow one.

LM

I sure will Louise. Do you have it entered in the database?

Lynn,
No, I didn't yet. I checked back over this thread and there were 3 or 4 or more
different kinds and I wouldn't know how to fill in the information blanks. The
picture was taken this summer. If you want to, you could enter it for me.

Louise have you posted that photo in the Plant ID Forum? Janet and some of the others are amazing at finding the correct name of plants. Once you know the correct name it is very easy to add the photo to the database. AND, you earn an acorn.

Lynn,
I've been very thankful for the Plant ID forum in the last few weeks. Some
very nice gardeners ID'ed several plants for me - mostly the same day!
I have written down every name and will start entering them maybe
tomorrow.

They are a wonderful bunch for sure.

Could some one please tell me at what point in winter these drop their leaves? I have to prune(overgrown, control) them and they are still busy in producing new foliage. Daytime 20c and night time 3c.
Regards,
Arif.

They are evergreen or semi evergreen in colder climates! In our climate which can drop to -20F or below they will drop their leaves, However if you have a warm climate as 20C is unheard of here in the winter they of course will continue to grow. 20c would be lovely but we do not get that at all, and if a really bad frost hits them, it can mean you need to prune of the dead. They are worth the effort though.
Regards from a wet and cold England.

Thank you Neil, it does gets colder and will go down further, maximum will be 10c and minimum will be below zero. Frost is the trigger, heavy frost starts by second week of January. Thank you again for reminding me about frost.
Regards,
Arif.

Arif, I imagine it depends on the variety you grow. The one I grow, P. incarnata (Maypop) is perhaps the most hardy. The foliage survives minor frosts without too much damage, but hard freezes kill the vines to the ground.

Well this variety has a blueish flower. This is its second year, first year it got clobbered by the frost right to the ground but this year, it is out of control and I am not being able to make out where the vines start and where they finish. That is why I am waiting for it to shed leaves so I can do some thing about it. It is not just Passiflora, there is a Cleorodendron mixed up with it and that thing is also out of control and neither can I make out its head or tail either.

The above combination is another one, first year growth I am hoping for a pink Passion flower in it but you can see the problem.
Niel is correct. We have been having soft frost but that hard crunchy icy one is still to come. It is supposed to rain, lets see.
Regards,
Arif.

Arif that is a wonderful wall of leaves and blooms. I can't see any Passion blooms in it though?
