We've got a white flowering one which I've never seen before. I saw a passion flower the other day. We had one in Surrey but I didn't think it would grow here as it needs warmth and sunshine. Might see if we have a sunny spot for one as I love the flowers and animals like the fruits.
jacdaw Aug 2023 8:56pm, 2 Aug 2023 3,994 posts	0 jacdaw We had a really hard late frost after the leaves had appeared. I had to cut it right back to where the surviving buds were showing some sign of life. It is considered an invasive alien, and I believe you're supposed to remove the dead flower heads to stop it seeding everywhere. Just not where I live!
