Passion Flower

[Tilly2]

I have just cut down and dug up an invasive passion flower plant. I thing I got most of the roots out. If I didn't, will it appear again, next year?

[EcclesCake]

Probably, they are stubborn.

[Tilly2]

Are they? Drat!

Luv them....put some roots on ebay for me

[SlackAlice]

Yes, most definitely will return.

Also, if you let them go to 'seed' you will have loads of the little beggars next year.

Sorry, Tambo, I wouldn't know where to start with ebay.

I like them as well but this one just got too much and was swamping too may other plants.

[Tilly2]

I'll look out for the seedlings, SA. Thanks.

Collect seeds in paper envelope & sell on ebay. Open ebay & set up account. Am preparing my run beans, chives & all sorts of seeds to sell.

I think its likely that you'l see some root sprouts coming up in the spring, unless you were very thorough when digging it out.
If it likes the soil, it can come back with a passion!

Oh again I have this problem, I was so pleased when a small plant took, it's now swamped the entire fence but is mixed with a montana and I can't unravel it.

[Tilly2]

I bet there are a few birds' nests in that lot, Prudie. :-)

Chip, the soil is very dry and dusty and the outlook is south. I wasn't thorough about pulling out all the roots, just the main stem and what roots came with it. I did dig around for a bit but I didn't want to disturb other plants.
