Our passion flower appears to have died in September?

Question

Hi, we planted the passion flower in April and the growth and spread has been really encouraging. However, over a weekend it appears to have died and we don’t understand why. All the other plants around are perfectly healthy so we don’t think it’s dry.  Can a cat or something have killed it?

Answer 1

Many things may have killed it. If it died very suddenly and you did not see any damage to the leaves prior, I would look at the roots and see if you can spot a problem there. Another possibility is that if you were spraying an herbicide near it, there may have been overspray that got on the plant and this may have killed it suddenly as well.
