PASSION VINE TRELLIS PURPLE

Although reliably winter hardy to USDA zone 5, Passion Flower can survive in Zone 4 if you have just the right protected micro climate to plant in. In the summer of 2012 , Prairie Moon grew and planted 8 vines to a gallon size pot with 2-3’ of growth in several likely locations around the nursery. In late fall we did a heavy mulch of 10-12” compost to protect the young vines against our Minnesota winter. Only 1 vine survived the first winter. But we have it still, and it seems quite happy, although it does not come up until early summer.
