Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Tough, fast & gorgeous! This rare vine features 4” blooms that are crowned with a super-fluffy halo of deep purple fringe. A cross between the super tough Passiflora caerulea & the super rare & choice Passiflora loefgrenii. Here you get the best of both worlds – a large, upward facing flower that's lush with sexy details & a super tough demeanor. Blooms most of the year once established – from Spring to frost. It's a big honkin' vine - growing to 15' within its first two years when given average water & a good sized space to sprawl. Hardy into the teens & tolerant of less than perfect soil. Butterflies love the flowers & use the plant as a host for their larvae. Edibility of the fruit is untested. Nosh at your own risk.
