Hi Lon

Thanks for the info on the Passion Flower. I have just put it in and also the Akebia also...put in 2 Akebias...the trifoliata and the quinata (sp?)

Never ate either one.

I would like to get another variety of Passion Flower if it will be hardy here.

Thanks...Pete 8b

Passiflora incarnata is MUCH better than Akebia.  All you need to pollinate
it is a second selection - a seedling will work.  Just so it isn't the same
clone as the first one - i.e., started from a cutting of your first one.
