Soli, We here in the PNW have 5, all grown in pots that we can take inside the greenhouse during the winter months. I got hook when I lived in TX and one covered the covered patio. It was breath taking. Yes, you have to be careful not to allow them to take off or they will take over. In the winter months instead of allowing them on the gravel we put them in a saucer. Elizabeth was a local grower that has a great passion for the Passifloras.
