Least you have got yours growing Meg 3, I planted some seeds about 3 months ago and did exactly what it said on the packet - nothing - it does say can take a while, but have a feeling something not quite right - or am I just being impatient?
After experts have helped Meg maybe they can consider my problem - please.

I have a passion flower on a South facing wall, it gets the sun 1st thing in the morning and up to about 2ish in the afternoon. It took mine over two years to flower and the only thing I do is mulch around the base at the end of Autumn. I've taken cuttings and I'm trying to grow some from the seeds that the fruit produced this year.I hope you have some luck with your's Meg
Hi I have a Passion flower it's about 8ft under window, I'm not to sure how to cut it do I just trim the bad brown bits off or do I cut it down to the stem, it blooms every year I only cut it today but I have taken just the dead bits off and the stems that are bright green I have left im new to all this but love this flower sorry for been thick lol
Hi Emma, Passion flowers seem to grow best in rubbish conditions I dont know why,I had in different gardens great success by treating them like Roses, some I let grow almost wild and some I chopped completely back to the ground, all came back with avengeance, the fruit was sweet and always looked good, I never fed or molly coddled them but I,v planted one last year on a pyramid and this year im going to feed and hopefully get cuttings to train up a wall and use it as a base grower for other climbers as the passion is so strong, go4it give it a good crew cut.
After trying several times without success to grow passion flowers from a pot I planted one in the garden this year against a south facing wall and im pleased to say it's flourished and flowered now I want to know how and when to prune it! Also I might add not all the buds open up. There are a lot more buds than flowers!
I inherited one at our new house last year and I would say that they tend to open the buds in sequence - not all at once. I always have more buds than flowers and most of the flowers then turn into fruits which ripen to a lovely orange colour and look like strings of old fashioned xmas tree lights.
Mine had quite a severe cut back at the start of the year in order to add a new piece of trellis. It recovered quickly and has put on about 10' of new growth since then.
