Hi everyone, I have several passie varieties planted throughout my yard and they are all in either sun or dappled shade. ( very light shade) a couple are on trellises. I can't seem to get any to bloom though. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks, Sandypetals

I use MiracleGro Bloom Booster to get mine to bloom. Works like a charm!

Linda these have been planted for 2-3 years, The blue crown climbs to the top of my house, the constance elliot to a 6 foot trellis and the others are all inbetween. My soil is very sandy so maybe they just need bloom food.

I would definitely try Bloom Booster by MiracleGro. I think that would kick-start them to produce buds! And if you get blooms, please share a photo or two! I'd love to see them!

Sandy, did you try the bloom booster Beckie suggested? It always works on me. BTW, I find that passis do like sandy soils.
