Passiflora caerulea | Blue Passion Flower - 40-60cm, 2lt

Passiflora caerrula is an exotic-looking, large, vigorous, semi-evergreen climber with twining tendrils and deeply lobed, glossy, dark green leaves. Stunning, large, white flowers with white, purple and blue central filaments bloom in summer and autumn and are followed by egg-shaped, edible but not very tasty, orange-yellow fruit. Passiflora caerrula prefers loose, sandy or gravelly soils, moist and well-drained, in full sun or partial shade. Too much compost will result in poor flowering. It’s a sub-tropical plant and in colder areas it should be grown in containers and brought inside during the winter. Otherwise, it may die to the ground, but regrow in spring. Best to be planted against a warm wall. Blue Passion Flower, with its exotic look, is a beautiful climber, perfect for walls, fences, trellises, and arbours in cottage, urban and Mediterranean gardens. Since it clings with tendrils, it won’t damage fences or walls. Suitable for growing in containers.
