Clear Sky Passion Vine Plant on Trellis - 5" Pot - Passiflora

Passion Flower: Passion flowers are exotic looking topical plants that can actually be grown in much milder areas. There are many different passion flower plants. Some passion flowers are vines, some produce edible fruits. The genus Passiflora contains over 400 species. The name ‘Passion’ Flower comes from Spanish Christian missionaries who adopted the unique physical structures of this plant, particularly the numbers of its various flower parts, as symbols of the last days of Jesus and especially his crucifixion. Dr Roland Fischer's stunning tetraploid species selection of P. caerulea created in 2001. It is very vigorous & is best grown in full sun with larger flowers & fuller leaf lobes than the diploid caerulea. Sold widely in Europe under patent license. Depending on its growing conditions its flowers will be larger than diploid ones. They are also usually more striking in colour. The leaves are not always longer but are stronger and thicker with greater width to the lobes as seen above, with older ones having a leathery appearance. Suitable for greenhouse, conservatory, houseplant, or outside against a sheltered wall. In cooler areas it can be brought inside as a houseplant in the winter. The flower is said to represent the Crucifixion. Measurements are approximate
