Mine was happy last year until the really hot weather then loads went all yellowy and died . I tidied back these branches ( and they were dead , no green inside the crispy stems )

It's now looking meh there is one thin stem that I am kidding myself is green, will this grow back?
Or should I cut my losses and get a new one . Really narked because it was £25ish two years ago and was gorgeous last year .

I;ll get a photo when its light

I think it might be totally dead. I’ll look in the morning.

Mine is all green stems still, wound round an obelisk

Was stunning last year and was only £8 from b and q!

Dead

Mine looks dead. It always does at this time of year and I always worry about it.

I’m pretty sure mine is dead. Just brittle and yellow. It was amazing last year as well which just rubs salt in the wound tbh.

I've trimmed mine back to a mere stick today but it looked dead last year them sprouted and bloomed beautifully until November. It might be playing dead.

It's too early to be sure, I think? They have been late this year. I would wait.

I was looking at mine yesterday.
It's got green leaves from last year.
Pull a couple of dead ones off.

If it is dead, get a replacement from a supermarket (Morrisons is best if you have one handy). It'll cost about £3, and will grow like crazy. I tend to treat them as annuals, as they never survive the winters up here on a Lancashire hillside.

I dug it up yesterday and yes it was an Ex-PassionFlower

New one has been planted and I'll make sure it is kept a very close eye on if we get the temperatures that we had last year (we were at 39c on the hottest days )
