User's notes

In shady garden beds (Clivia, Chlorophytum). Difficult to get rid of as seeds may remain dormant, so germination takes place over years.

Fortunately not moth vine - but blue passionfruit which is used as the stock onto which edible passionfruit is grafted. Is a bit frost sensitive but becoming a more common weed in the Canberra area

Scrape the stems with a knife or secateur blade then dab with 1:1 glyphosate. It might take a few weeks to die.
