Bleeding Heart Vine

Question:

I live in North Central Florida. I have a very tall bleeding heart vine on a front porch post. Should I prune it back now Or Spring?

Answer:

I have done some research on this plant as it can’t grow outside in the UK. Most say that you should prune your Bleeding Heart Vine once all the flowers have faded but I believe flowering periods differ throughout the world. However, November seems to be the best time. I’d say you’d be OK to prune it now then in future years prune it once the flowers have gone.
