Overwintering Mandevilla and Passiflora

[Eric La Fountaine]

The following was received via email:

After a hospital stay, I was given a potted mandevilla and a passion flower ("Blue Skies"?). The mandevilla was planted into the garden for the summer and the passion flower was potted-up. Both were very happy and performed beautifully. Fall is upon us and we have had our first frost "scare" - gratefully just a scare. I would love to overwinter both plants or take cuttings. I do not have a greenhouse space. I am also a wheechair gardener so simplicity is best, but not necessary.

Thank you for your help and all the work I see you do for others,
Lauretta

Hello Lauretta,

If the plants are not too big, you can just bring them in, trim them back to a reasonable size and put them in a sunny window.
