Is this plant a Passiflora?

    They’re buds,  maybe it’s too dry so they’ve dropped off, they flower very late, I have flowers on mine at Christmas.

    Wow looking forward to it flowering I'm going to put some wire up tomorrow for it to trail along.

    Thank you for the help
  • So we've noticed our passion flower has stopped growing and for the past month the leaves have all gone droopy and are dropping off.

    I thought they were evergreen?

    I think it’s probably got too dry,  it’s planted very close to the house so any rain may be missing it.
    I suppose it hasn't been damaged at the base or a dog pee’d on it?

    It's planted in a planter and gets watered most days it's a strange one as it was growing really well then all of a sudden its not looking great and the leaves have gone droopy. 

    The dog can't get to it. 

    I've fed it plant food a few times
  • Climbers need a lot of root space … how big is the container it’s in?

    Beware - if it likes its spot it will become rampant!  We had it in our last garden and it went all along the fence drooping down both our side and our neighbour's.  Luckily we all liked it. Ours was East facing then.

    It looks like the container is very small. It's likely that it's become completely dehydrated, and if the container is small, there'll be a limit to how much moisture and nutrition it can take up.
    As @Lyn says - right up next to a wall - always dry. Rain can't get in - especially when the foliage is there. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
