Hello Sarah, I have a passion flower planted by the house on a south facing wall and it flowers really well, only been there a couple of years but is pretty big and needed trellis to keep it tidy. Well worth it though not only looks good but the bees love it, too.
I think the trellis needs to be sturdy, Supernoodle, but wire may work. My plant has grown quickly and is quite heavy when full of flowers so I opted for the wooden one to tie it on and thread it around without any damage, hopefully.
Thanks summerwine. Sorry for poaching your thread, Sarah, but I'm wanting to grow jasmine and passionflower on a wall and I'd prefer wire so you can't really see it butwasn't sure it'd be strong enough. Perhaps a combination then - some wood to add a bit more to the wire.

Is a Passion flower ok on wires on a wall or does it need a sturdier wooden trellising?
