We set up two trellises last weekend, one around each back gate, for vines to grow across.
In the image above a tendril from the Passiflora parritae x tarminiana 'Oaklandia' wraps itself around the rod for one of the trellises.
This vine likes to be in either part shade or shade and needs rich, well drained soil.
The orange blossoms will provide nectar for bees, butterflies and hummingbirds.
And here is the plant in its pot:
