Passiflora

(Passifloraceae - passion flower family)
Passionflower. About 400 species of tendril-climbing vines, native mostly to Central and South America. Often cultivated for their foliage, showy flowers of intricate structure, and edible fruit.

blue passionflower

Passiflora caerulea - May 17 Passiflora caerulea - May 17


fragrant, screen, sun
Brazil to Argentina

Fast-growing, with leaves divided into narrow, finger-like segments. The spicily fragrant, blue and white flowers are 2-4" across. One of the hardiest of the evergreen passionflowers, it is root hardy to zone 6 with winter protection, and top hardy to about 10° F. Blossoms appear primarily in spring on the previous season's growth, so it often will not flower if the top growth is killed in winter. Does well in containers.
