I HAD a beautiful Constance Elliott passion vine producing 20-30 flowers per day, lots of fruit coming on, UNTIL the Gulf Fritillaries took over. At first I though it's just a few, I'll let them hang around. Within two weeks the vine is totally gone as the caterpillar army exploded.
As much as I like butterflies flitting around, and hate to nix their chances, next year they can find another host to feed on. I won't sacrifice this much vine next year if this is the result... There were so many they ate the flowers faster than the bees could get to them.
