Passionflower

It's been really windy here the last few days. Growing up in Formby I'm used to wind, but we've not had much in the garden here before. The recent weather has caused a number of my plants to collapse, including the lovely Galega I bought last year and 2 of my 3 teasels.


The amethyst passionflower (lavender lady) had lost much of its hold on the trellis. It doesn't seem to hold on to things as well as the peas and clematis.

I have the same problem and found the solution quite by accident. It seems to secure itself best if allowed to climb through another, already established, climber. In our case, a Honeysuckle.
