How to Sow and Care for Passionflower

Although Passionflower seeds can be slow to germinate, you can grow them from seed. Passionflower seeds from Garden Paradise Seeds come with growing instructions and 15 healthy seeds. Passion Flower seeds should be soaked 24 hours before planting, and they should be planted 1 cm deep in good compost or potting soil.

They should not be soaked in water. Water the plants regularly, but don't let the soil become too wet. Passionflower seeds should be planted in containers. Passionflower seedlings can be hardened off and transplanted into a garden when they have 4 or 5 leaves. 

To encourage profound root growth, Passionflower plants need to be watered well throughout the summer. During the winter, keep the soil at a semi-dormant state. The soil mix must be well-draining with equal parts gravel and soil. Passionflowers thrive in full sun to partial shade, well-drained soil, and a warm, sheltered location.

Maintain a neat look by cutting back after flowering, or removing damaged growth in spring. Most varieties must be protected during the winter. You can grow passionflowers in pots, but they will need to be fed and watered more frequently, and they will not grow as vigorously as those grown in the ground.
