Hey,
I understand what you are trying to do. I was just making it clear that you should really just work with the vines. I hybirdize as well, though not alway with passiflora. It's nice to see you choose to work in the temps area or hybrids this helps other people grow them in wider zones. My focus in hybrids of passiflora are hardiness as well, flower size, and fruit size. Yes I do grow many of my passiflora indoors in the winter. My greenhouse heater has not worked sense a hurricane so I stuffed them in. I keep most outside all spring to fall though. And I have a few that I have planted year round outdoors. I am moving to Sarasota, fl in spring and will grow most out side year round then.
