They sound ideal for what I want to plant on rockery. as you can see from the pic, that's as far as my passion flower gets now. maybe not enough sun. Atb j Don't do it! Or if you do, keep them in containers. They eventually take over and grow anywhere they can. Seen them growing here in peoples drains, cracks in walls etc. I'm constantly pulling them from my veggie pots. I have a window box with them in gravel and they need thinning out every year 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Atb j They don't take over like that... they invade cracks, nooks and crannies but don't cover the whole thing. Their roots can split most rock types (eventually). I'd say a hardy rose type would be best there, add in some fast climbing species (potted so can be removed later on). Something that grips and pulls into the wall, as opposed to forcing it's way into and between. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've got 5/6 I think , that's the minimum. I was speaking to a lady to that rescues them; she thought she had 4 but had 12. Catch them and put nail polish on their spikes is apparently the way to really count em 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
