Hello Ricoh, I planted a few plants lately and forgot to mark one, I’ve attached a picture, is this Passiflora incarnate?

Yes, that does appear to be it, and it looks like multiple seeds sprouted, good work. i think the cell system you’re using promoted the germination on these. r

What is this particular cell system? Looks interesting. Also, i am in zone 6 is there any way i could grow Passiflora incarnate and over winter? Would like to grow for tinctures, as well as cultivate other medicinals that would be possible in zone 6 in central Kentucky. I have blood root growing as well as several other med plants but this one has eluded me last few years… Thanks for reply. Linda in Ky ☮️💜

Hi Linda, We grow most of our starts in tree bands. They are 5 inches deep. Since we’re organically certified and do not use the usual fertilizer balls, we need more soil in there to hold sufficient resources for the plants–compost etc. Passionflower is native to Kentucky. You’re a bit far north for it but it is a reasonable grow against a south wall. We have plenty of passionflower seed available. The 4-inch plants are sold out. I see we still have four 9-inch plants available. These are exceptional. Please hurry. Richo

I just received some beautiful passionflower plants from you! I live in sunny Berkeley, CA, where the mornings are still really chilly (40 degrees) and the afternoons are up to 80 degrees. Can I plant these beauties directly in the garden in some potting soil with vermiculite, or should I get them started in pots? Thanks!

Hi Chelsea, Oh good, glad they came through well. I would plant each one to a gallon pot and keep it outdoors in the shade until the tops and roots increase, 3 weeks is plenty, give those chilly morns a chance to warm up. Once the plants are acclimatized, feel free to plant in the ground and give full sun. Love sunny Berkeley and passionflower does very well there.

herbalists use mainly fresh plant tincture, but sometimes make a tea out of the dried herb. r

I wanted to order but then when I realized it is being shipped USPS I feel I won’t receive the order and nothing but I hassle. I am still waiting orders from other places that are lost with the post offices. Are your orders getting through? I really don’t want to waste the money if they’re going to set lost in the post office

Thanks for your frank concerns. We are doing splendidly well with the post office and prefer it over other carriers.

I received three passionflower plants from you mid-Aug that I planned to transplant the beginning of Sept, but due to exigent circumstances it never happened. What would be a suitable potting mix for them to overwinter in (I usually make my own) in a greenhouse kept above freezing?

Hi there, Yes, Passionflower likes a fast-draining mix and is not greedy about nutrients. If you have white pumice use 50% white pumice and 50% organic compost. If you don’t have white pumice use coarse, sharp sand. They do well in gallon containers to overwinter in a cold greenhouse. r

If I want to grow these in pots what’s the best way to do it. I have a window sill that gets full sun. What size pot should I put it in right now? Any recommendations on soil?

Hi John,
Passionflower in pots is relatively trouble-free. Use the deepest pot you can afford–they have deeply delving roots. Keep the planting on the dry side, they do not like to be soaked. That means a fast-draining mix as described in my book “the medicinal herb grower.” Or just use plenty of sand and white pumice. Passionflower wants as much sun as you can give it.

Question
Kristen A. –
I live in East Texas in zone 7b/8. I’ve read conflicting information about the invasiveness of this plant. Some say they see shoots pop up 40 ft away. Is this a plant that will become a nuisance in my area? I don’t want it to try to take over my vegetable garden. Any advice?

Hi Kristen,
You’re talking to Richo who enjoys enthusiastic plants and doesn’t use the “I” word. Passionflower seems to limit itself to the compacted, dry and rocky aspect–it doesn’t much like to grow in the rich soil of a vegetable garden. hope that helps. richo
