Pruning: Prune corkystem passionflower in early spring to promote healthy growth and flowering. Remove dead branches and shape overgrown stems for better air circulation and light penetration. Regular pruning helps manage size, prevent sprawl, and reduce disease risk, ensuring robust production of blooms.
