I have just brought a passionfruit plant, and want to know if there is anything specific I need to do for it.
I have brought one for the last three years and it always dies, and i am lucky if i get anything off it.
Any advice appreciated, note: it is just coming into spring where i am

This year I'm having success for the first time. I've dug in LOTS of sheep manure. That's the only thing different, and all three (two different varieties) are doing well. Mine usually just die off slowly. This time, success.
Hope that helps.

I plant mine near a tree so it gets
morning sun and not much evening.I had no sucess with my red one but the purple on is slow to come back each year.It grows to the top of my ceder tree every year.I hope yours does as well as mine.I have it everywhere in my yard and it has grown inside my greenhouse.I love it so muchand smells to high heven.I just every now and then feed it plant food from the Dollar Store and then put leaves over the roots after the first frost I cut it back close to the ground.Cover then with leaves and mulch.
