Is it too late to plant a passion flower?

I live in east Tennessee. I was walking along the side of the road last year and saw the passion flower in full bloom. With it being at the beginning of spring is it too late to try to dig some up. And will it come up this year.They seem to be growing wild around here.

You do not have to dig them up..simply take a bunch of 10 or 12 inch long cuttings off of it...Take the cuttings..slice under a node at an angle..dip it in water..then dip it in "root harmone" and plant it where you want it to grow..I do them like this as well as morning glory's...

Late spring is the best time to take cuttings...being still cold coming in..you can start them inside in a common glass of water..use well water or distilled water to do this..if you have city water..fill a jug up the night before and let it set out to let the chlorine "gas out of it"...Root harmone is available at wal mart or any place that has a garden center for about 3 dollars a small jar..
Reply:It's fine to plant a Passion Flower in spring, and if you buy pot grown ones, then you're mostly fine for much of the year, as long as there is no frost and you water afterwards in dry weather.



They're not expensive, so it could be worth a trip to the garden nursery, as they will have a range of varieties, suited to growing in your area. There are creams, pinks, purples, as well as the more traditional cream and blue Passiflora cerulea, which is generally considered the most hardy of the species. http://www.floridata.com/ref/P/pass_cae....



This variety can withstand winter freezes, and is attractive with purple flowers:http://www.floridata.com/ref/P/passiflo....



Hope this helps. Good luck! Rob
