Hey Mark. Love your videos! I've just got my first garden at the grand age of 50... (a mainly paved area, about 8 x 4m plus a shed!) making discoveries and learning every day now spring is here. The old lady who lived here previously was obviously very keen. I have an established acer, daphne, honeysuckle, daffs, peonies, tulips, hostas up a popping, a couple of clematis. I think I'm a bit obsessed. LOL. I've invested a grand total of £14 on plants. Lupin, lavender, saxifrage and thyme. 18 x lobelia. 1 x passion flower for £2 (Asda, last week) Inherited 2 x hebes and a crane's bill geranium from my mum's garden when she also moved. I've put my passion flower in a hanging trough on my railings and have twined a V shaped plant support above. It is totally against all advice but as all my plants seem to be thriving in places they are not supposed to, I'm quite hopeful. Whenever I have a query, I check your videos first. I find them super helpful, so thank you very much 🙂
Brilliant, that's a great comment, I'm 55 next week so I'm a bit ahead of you, you've invested in a great selection of plants. Actually, i don't think it's necessary to follow advice if you get results. You sound full of energy and motivation for your space which is wonderful. I wish these comments boxes allowed photos so people can send pictures. Thanks for you encouragement and for watching. Keep in touch. Best wishes. Mark (currently watching last night's gardener's world in iplayer!).
Loved the film, i just bought a passion flora, still small but on a sunny place 😊 a tip for snails , dried lavender under your plants , snails don’t like bitter , so they leave the plants alone and move to the neighbors 👌😃 works in my garden ❤
@@anjumassadamin ah unfortunately you cannot. Sadly. If you use Instagram you can tag me? @marksgardenUK. Or email it. Mark@marksgardenuk.com. I can imagine it in my mind ☺️
I was told as a child that the 3 parts sticking up were fish tails and the 5 parts encircling the tails are bread loaves. They called it the 5 loaves, 3 fish flower. Except Jesus fed the 5000 with loaves and 2 fish, but it was nice to think about.
my favorite part of this video is that you thought about your mum to give her a cutting such a beautiful vine with an out of this world bloom - thanks for putting this on you tube
Great informative video,thanks!👌Out of all the new plants I've brought this year for my garden,this one impresses me the most,I've put it in a big clay pot and built it a frame,it's growing so fast with it's shoots grabbing the frame,at a rate that I have to add a little bit of came to the frame every day!lol,our garden is very small,so I don't know whether to introduce it to the wall or not in case it gets out of control!😂
It's by the wall already and free to do it's thing! You'd think this video would have put me off,but it's had the complete opposite effect!😆 thanks again,look forward to seeing future videos,I'm fairly new to this gardening stuff!👍
Love the vlog - and the detailed explanations. So kind of you. I bet your Mum was thrilled that you thought of her and that I hope the cuttings were successful.
I have one of these growing up my house. I love it and for many years pruned it back from time to time without any difficulties or protection until the day I pruned it in full sunshine. The sap left long burn blisters on my arms that took over 3 months to heal and since then my skin reacts to even the slightest brush with a tendril. Nowadays, if I have to cut it, I wear thick sleeves, thick gloves, a hat, face mask, boots, etc. It is beautiful, stunning flowers followed by golden orange fruit, so I am reluctant to get rid of it entirely.
I've just bought a house with a very enthusiastic PF growing in the front of the house but with no guidance or design at all. To be honest I'm not sure I really like them and loved your comments about them Mark, nature really over-did herself on that one!! But of course I won't remove her (it's a 'her' I am sure of it!!😂). And tomorrow I intend to find a suitable trellis to mount her on and encourage her to more growth. Really enjoyed your video, thank you for posting!!

I do of pain, but not death so, before you eat them, please find out if it is safe. I have eaten so many flowers without wondering if it could hurt me. found out yesterday that the blue passionflower is poisonous, i think...if i read it correctly...my babies were asking me stuff and i read it as fast as i could. I really enjoyed your video. oh, my name is Eve..my husband is Johnny
@@Charis266 Passionflower leaves are edible. You can even make tea from the dried leaves. Lots of recipe ideas out there. The flower? Best avoided, as is the fruit unless you are sure. Depends on the variety. Long term exposure to liquid metal mercury is harmful, no question. Ingesting it, as you did did no apparent harm because we can expel the metallic form fairly quickly.
I love snails and try to save them from my backyard toads but I find empty shells every once in a while. Nice you’re saving them. Im growing these plants too, Passiflora Caerulea aka Royal Blue or Bahama Blue Passion Flower Vine I’m raising gulf fritillary caterpillars and this is the only plant the babies will eat to survive into a beautiful butterfly. I’m also growing milkweed to save the Monarch Butterflies So watching your vine because I’m propagating and planting seeds so hopefully by next year I can have many butterflies in my backyard garden & snails of course..
Thank you for this lovely comment. You are great at painting word pictures. I can imagine all the happy snails and caterpillars. Have you tried some cuttings? Mark
Hey Mark,how are you??..I am growing one,well 3 from cuttings,they weren't doing to well last year but i have repotted them & they are thriving now..They haven't flowered yet but they are quite small.. Here in england they are know as i think the crown of christ,something along those lines,i will have to find out again.. Really appreciate this video,i want to learn more about it.. I do love there flower,its really unique..you saying the passion of christ thats it,it represents the thorns that were worn.. Have a great day & take care ✌🏼☮🤘🏼💜✌🏼☮🤘🏼💜
We are fortunate to have a large garden room which is frost free and move our passion flower in there come November and bring it out once frost are unlikely. It is in an 18 inch pot at the moment and doing well.
I've had this as a potted version, in an apartment I used to rent - so I don't have it anymore. But the plant was lovely, I put it around a wire shape, something similar to a keyhole, and as it was growing, I would've made that structure more complicated, for sure. The bloom was just marvelous and it only lasted for a day. I remember the flatmate I had at the time who was at home when one of the flowers bloomed and he said it made like a popping noise? Seemed quite interesting, alas I never actually heard it myself... this video makes me want to get one again - maybe from the next month's salary 💮
@@MarksHouseandGardenUK I mean.... he said that, I never heard it, I'm not sure if he was just taking the p**s 😅 And just now I won't get one, the plants I do get to keep in my flat are called "survivors" because they really must endure my abstent-mindedness and they are fighters 🙃 so until I get a new plant and manage to keep it alive for more than a few months (besides, I do get new plants from time to time, but I need to check if they are toxic for cats, because she sometimes think of them as salad) then I will gladfully get one. Your video reminded me of that plant and it was glorious, so I might risk it sooner - and for sure buy it, just to increase its survival chances 😁 Tysm for replying! 👏
@@TheAnaemag if he heard a popping sound perhaps he had wax in his ears? 🤣😂 Have you heard of 'air plants' they may be the perfect solution for you. And fascinating. Mark
@@MarksHouseandGardenUK Hahaha, I've never thought to question whatever he said, maybe I should've 😂 and yes, I did hear about them, but they seem a bit "fussy"? if I may say that about plants, and a bit too complicated to care for (spray them a few times a week, submerge them once a week, I mean who has time for all that?). I am a bit proud (but also a bit ashamed) that each and all of my surviving plants are ...tried and tested through multiple scattered-brain moments from me and they're still here, so... not sure air plants would fit in my "squad". Thank you for suggesting though, I will look into them, who knows really... I need to move them once warmer weather comes here to stay, and I would like more plants, it was a hard winter, "we've had a few losses" 😅😇
How did it do as a container plant and how large of a container did you keep it in? I might try to grow in a container on my patio so am curious if you think this plant is a good choice for that.
OH my God! I've been so depressed because of the war and the banks closing... But I came here and you are a riot. You've made me laugh and laugh. I'm trying to grow one of these. Thank you.
Thanks so much for the video. I planted some this spring in a pot. Going to try an indoor plant, it gets too cold here in Northern New England I'm afraid.
I hope it works out as an indoor plant. Let me know. Wow though!! Northern new england. My little garden is going all around the world. Thanks for watching and commenting. Mark
This flower represents The Mahabharata in Hindu culture. It is believed that the purple part represents 100 evil kauravas ( who fought against Pandavas and The Krishna in Mahabharata) 5 petals on Upper portion represents Pandavs and the top portion represents The Krishna.
Being from tropical country I don't know how to take care of this plant in cold country like denmark, as we have no sun light most of the months in winter time as well as snow for around 2-3 months. If you can please guide me about it.
@@MarksHouseandGardenUK I haven't tried growing it from the seed but just yesterday bought a little plant from nursery. What care did you give to your Plant during winter months?
Yeah, this is one of the most interesting looking plants I've come across. Tried it in a tea for the first time today. It is very relaxing. It's a shame it invades areas so easily because there are a lot of benefits from this plant.
Someday someone will wonder why someone allowed this plant to remain growing beneath that brick wall. It might take years but, eventually, it is going to crack the masonry. By that time it will be an even tougher plant. I'd use glyphosate, now. If you want a passionflower there, grow it in a container. The seed was most likely transported by a bird.
Passion flower flowers are efficient and economical because their goal is to attract pollinators and these look like they're very much attention grabbing.
Hello! How was your propagated cuttings? I found out we have one growing just outside our fence. I love the flowers and was thinking of propagating the plant. xx
They all survived very well. Two are in my mum's garden. It took root very easily and quickly. 100% success rate. The two at my mum's have already produced flowers. I'm very pleased with how they did. Mark
Hi my passion flower died back during winter. I still have the framework on my trellis. Do I have to cut it all back? This is my first time growing it and had lots of flowers. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks 😊
Personally i would wait until it starts growing. Then I'd remove small amounts of it until you get the feel for it. If it's still alive it should start growing again soon. It's not like those clamatis plants where some you have to take right back. Mark
I was wondering if you were able to propagate that Passion flower. It took me a while to get the hang of that 1. Finally was successful in my kitchen window in water. (Spring)
Can you propagate this plant? I’ve had a cutting from a friend sitting in water for more than 2 weeks. It hasn’t died but hasn’t formed any roots. The tendrils have curled up and the leaves have beads of moisture on them. It’s an amazing plant and I really want one.
Hi Susan, persevere with you cuttings but also try layering, pin a branch down onto soil whilst it remains connected to the parent plant, make a slight wound on the underside where it touches the soil. Mark
My passiflora vine grew quickly; climbed up the terrace. Its two years and not flowering yet. Does it need more nutrition in the form of compost? Islamabad Pakistan
I'm not sure really. I took some cuttings which flowered year 1. So I'm puzzled. Perhaps wait another year without pruning much then look at a feeding routine which encourages blooms not foliage? Let me know. Thanks. Mark
Excuse me, but how was the vine attached to the wall? I’d like to grow this species up a tree or a wall without a trellis but everywhere online says they grow using tendrils which would require a trellis, in spite of clearly not needing one in your case. Did you see what it was doing to hold on to the wall, was it attached like ivy? Or was it growing a different way somehow
Hi Michael, it's definitely tendrils so it does need something to climb up. Mine was climbing up simple plant wire which was randomly attached up and down the wall. That's what it was growing up. Mark
There re many species of passionflower. However, the one you have is from the Americas - Passiflora incarnata. It is a wonderful medicinal plant with fruit.
Hi. I thanks for watching. I've moved house since. I think my mum still has a cutting I'll ask next time I see her. Could you ping me a quick email? Mark@marksgardenUK.com
Hi Mark, thank you so much for this informative video :) I live in Ottawa Canada and am wonfering if these need to be brought in for the winter? is it better to keep it as an indoor plant being that I am not in a teopical climate? Yours is in the UK, and has survived your winters?
Hello to you in Ottawa. My passion flower is outdoors 365 days of the year. We have temperatures down to minus 15 centigrade. What are your lowest temperatures? Mark
@@MarksHouseandGardenUK Hi Mark :) thank you kindly for your reply. Our winter can see temperatures go as low as -40 celcius. I have since done a bit more research on this and will definitely be bringing it in. I will keep it as an indoor plant. Have a wonderful day 😊
Hi there. My passionflower seems to bloom at very irregular, random times throughout the year, i often wander out and i am surprised to see a new bud appear. Because it often has blooms it gives good value. However be careful because it can run away quickly and climb everywhere.
@@MarksHouseandGardenUK Thanks for your insights! The fact that it climbs anywhere and anywhere is definitely a concern. Very interesting videos nonetheless. Keep the good content coming!

@@MarksHouseandGardenUK wow what can i say,you are amazing!
@@tamhminaahmed2990 oh, thank you so much. This made me smile 😊
How do you keep these plants under control? Also how do you prevent it from being eaten by caterpillars and or snails???
Where you able to successfully grow your cuttings? How is the stump by the copper pipe doing?
Good thing about these is that u can cut them to the ground and they'll bounce back
Incredibly resilient aren't they?
Hi my passion flower died back during winter. I still have the framework on my trellis. Do I have to cut it all back? This is my first time growing it and had lots of flowers. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks 😊
Personally i would wait until it starts growing. Then I'd remove small amounts of it until you get the feel for it. If it's still alive it should start growing again soon. It's not like those clamatis plants where some you have to take right back. Mark
@@MarksHouseandGardenUK Hi Mark. I haven't touched it yet but I'll do as you say. I hope it grows again as it was really beautiful. Thank you 😊
I was wondering if you were able to propagate that Passion flower. It took me a while to get the hang of that 1. Finally was successful in my kitchen window in water. (Spring)
Yes they did. My mum has one 😊
Can you propagate this plant? I’ve had a cutting from a friend sitting in water for more than 2 weeks. It hasn’t died but hasn’t formed any roots. The tendrils have curled up and the leaves have beads of moisture on them.
It’s an amazing plant and I really want one.
Hi Susan, persevere with you cuttings but also try layering, pin a branch down onto soil whilst it remains connected to the parent plant, make a slight wound on the underside where it touches the soil. Mark
My passiflora vine grew quickly; climbed up the terrace. Its two years and not flowering yet. Does it need more nutrition in the form of compost? Islamabad Pakistan
I'm not sure really. I took some cuttings which flowered year 1. So I'm puzzled. Perhaps wait another year without pruning much then look at a feeding routine which encourages blooms not foliage? Let me know. Thanks. Mark
@@MarksHouseandGardenUK Many thanks for the guidance; will wait for the flowers and share an update accordingly. 🙏
Excuse me, but how was the vine attached to the wall? I’d like to grow this species up a tree or a wall without a trellis but everywhere online says they grow using tendrils which would require a trellis, in spite of clearly not needing one in your case. Did you see what it was doing to hold on to the wall, was it attached like ivy? Or was it growing a different way somehow
Hi Michael, it's definitely tendrils so it does need something to climb up. Mine was climbing up simple plant wire which was randomly attached up and down the wall. That's what it was growing up. Mark
@@MarksHouseandGardenUK oh okay, that makes sense, thank you
There re many species of passionflower. However, the one you have is from the Americas - Passiflora incarnata. It is a wonderful medicinal plant with fruit.
What do you think about the taste of this kind of passion
Does it have fruit? Thank you for sharing😍
Hey great video! Would you be willing to post a cutting within the uk? For a price, of course.
Hi. I thanks for watching. I've moved house since. I think my mum still has a cutting I'll ask next time I see her. Could you ping me a quick email? Mark@marksgardenUK.com
Does it grow fast sir?
Hi Mark, thank you so much for this informative video :) I live in Ottawa Canada and am wonfering if these need to be brought in for the winter? is it better to keep it as an indoor plant being that I am not in a teopical climate? Yours is in the UK, and has survived your winters?
Hello to you in Ottawa. My passion flower is outdoors 365 days of the year. We have temperatures down to minus 15 centigrade. What are your lowest temperatures? Mark
@@MarksHouseandGardenUK Hi Mark :) thank you kindly for your reply. Our winter can see temperatures go as low as -40 celcius. I have since done a bit more research on this and will definitely be bringing it in. I will keep it as an indoor plant. Have a wonderful day 😊
Good job body
What an interesting Video. A bit noisy though.
I agree. Yes sorry about that. The house is near a main road. Mark
Wait what do you need an oil line for
Hi. We needed oil for the central heating and cooker
I am thinking about putting this plant on my garden. I live in Costa Rica (Tropical Weather). How often does this plant bloom?
Hi there. My passionflower seems to bloom at very irregular, random times throughout the year, i often wander out and i am surprised to see a new bud appear. Because it often has blooms it gives good value. However be careful because it can run away quickly and climb everywhere.
@@MarksHouseandGardenUK Thanks for your insights! The fact that it climbs anywhere and anywhere is definitely a concern. Very interesting videos nonetheless. Keep the good content coming!
@@OmgThatsIncredible thank you for your feedback. I'll be out in the garden tomorrow filming 😊
Why not just take a piece of inch and a half or even inch and a quarter PVC and just cover the copper pipe
The best solution to that problem is to get solar panels and leave the plant be🙂
It’s an OIL pipe
maybe the plant knew that humans picked and grow seeds so they evolved in a way to make it beautiful enough for humans to cultivate it xD
Yes perhaps that is a possibility. But i also think... It's an alien lol. Thank you for watching 😊
@@MarksHouseandGardenUK yes. Same with the seed pods on Datura Stramonium. Looks like an alien egg 😊
God’s design👍
Silly why didnt u stop it before...and keep seeds for somewhere else.
Wa³
That is a vastly inaccurate description of evolution as the passion flower demonstrates
Perhaps you should watch again as you have clearly misunderstood or misinterpreted my presentation
