Isn't amazing :)
I grew it once in the conservatory but the whole thing took over, as it spread and sread, we were all huddled in a corner trying to find a space to sit down :D
Hubby banned me from growing it again ::)
This one grows by my back door year after year and winds itself round my tap.[attachment=1]
Wow Hopalong I didn't think they would survive outside here. Ive grown some this year, but they haven't flowered very well with the cold wet weather we have had. I was banking on them being an annual :o lol

Star - The plants themselves don't survive the winter. They seed profusely and reappear like poppies or aquilegia.
Thanks H-a-L, guess I will have a glut next year then. They are very pretty :D
Lovely examples.
I planted a few passion flower plants about three years ago and supplied them with a trellis. They kept coming but back but hardy did any thing and never flowered. This year started to grow madly and provided me with exotic looking flowers, which don't last long either.
These are becoming something of an obsession... found some Kniola's Black knight in a Wyevale bin... still haven't grown one that I prefer to "Heavenly Blue" although that one Ollie photo'd on Hols lokks great!
;D

We have Heavenly Blue on my rickety twig arbor which has fallen down twice in winds.
I decided to leave it down the second time where it is blooming comfortably on top of zinnias looking, well, heavenly!
