Will get some seeds or young plants to grow again :-) This Sambac Jasmine is really pretty... looks like a rose but wilt quickly :-( And no, I haven't see any fruit from the passiflora yet. Will watch out for it.

Gerberas are very finicky and are very prone to fungal white. Unless one is willing to spray with copious amount of fungicide, it should be given a wide berth.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01083409767851425580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055656544285175590.post-32265330337113677192013-11-28T17:34:34.402+08:002013-11-28T17:34:34.402+08:00I love your Passiflora, Stephanie.

I can grow Passiflora Caerulea, which is surprisingly hardy, and even when killed off by hard frost will grow again in Spring.Hoe hoe growhttp://hoehoegrow.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055656544285175590.post-15742209710487641082013-11-28T17:20:34.547+08:002013-11-28T17:20:34.547+08:00I think the nursery push the plants hard with fert...I think the nursery push the plants hard with fertilizer before selling, to display big flowers. I used to grow Verbena, loved the variety of colours, but they became very prone to powdery mildew. Now I grow mainly dwarf Zinnias in pink and orange. They are very rewarding and reseed, tough which is a 10 in my book. Sambac Jasmine is wonderful, love the scent of jasmine. do you get fruit as well from your Passiflora? Your plants always look well cared for, you are a lady with great patience.
