Easily trained up a trellis or obelisk in the garden, or over a frame in a large on the patio or in the conservatory, 'Fata Confetto' grows to around 3m, but is simple to keep in check with a quick snip of the secateurs if it gets too boisterous.

Plant Information
Top Tips
Don't over-feed as the vine will produce leaves at the expense of flowers.
Care Guide
Outside:
- For best results, if grown outside, plant along a wall or fence.
- While 'Fata Confetto' is hardy, it's not fond of the cold and may drop its leaves over winter.
- Mulch deeply over the autumn and your passion flower plant will return with new shoots in the spring.
- Passion flowers need full sun and well-drained soil.
- Feed with a general purpose fertiliser: once in early spring and one in mid summer.
Inside:
- Growing passion flowers indoors is as easy, you just need a big pot and a window with bright light.
- Plant your vine in normal potting compost (with added John Innes) and water regularly.
- Your plant can be moved outdoors after all danger of frost is past and allowed to grow normally. Then, in autumn, cut back the growth to a reasonable height and bring it back indoors - it's that easy!
