Re: Passion flower question

1. Will it climb by throwing out tendtrils or will it wrap its self around things to secure itself?

2. I have only one space for it if it needs full sun, but it will have to be against a trellis with a honeysuckle - I am worried the passion flower would kill my honeysuckle?
The other place it would be able to climb would be in shade which only gets limited early afternoon sun.

3. Can I plant it out now?

Thanks for any help .
If it's in a pot you can plat it out now - just water it in well and yes it will need to be in full sun. It climbs via tendrils and it shouldn't kill your honeysuckle - they will just climb together - should look quite pretty!
