Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Free blooming and diminutive in size, this native of Ecuador is easy-to-manage in a hanging basket or pot. Small, 1," pink blooms arrive in succession throughout the summer months making this plant a great candidate for garden containers. A strong root system lends vigor to its nature, and the Miniature Pink Passion Flower responds well to hard pruning making it quite manageable for a vining species.
Dainty soft pink open star-shaped blooms are borne throughout summer on this unusual little passion vine. Unusual cloven, velvety foliage adorns this small growing vine which lends itself to baskets or containers and is ideal for a warm sunny window or patio.
This is a fun smaller Passiflora for tropical and subtropical landscapes. Up north, it is suited to container growing. Just bring it inside for the winter months. Medium green, lobed leaves form a backdrop for hundreds of 2 inch flowers all summer long. While the name suggests red, they are actually a nice fully pink color. Can take frosts but best grown with a minimum of 45 °F. Passion Flower Species.
A perfectly beautiful vine for a smaller space, smaller garden or even a container. Moderate, vigorous & free flowering, P. sanguinolenta only grows to about 9’ - much less than most other Passionvines. From Spring thru Fall it bears its lovely 1.5” rosey-pink blooms with peak bloom in mid-Summer. The dark coral buds are a show unto themselves, held upright & looking like candles nestled in the foliage. The leaves are fun, too, each looking like a pair of butterfly wings. Easy & fairly fast growing, it makes a fascinating patio or small trellis climber, you can even grow it indoors on a windowsill in a 5” pot! For you zonal denial folks, it’s reported to withstand short periods of 0° F, but we wouldn’t really know about that – brrr!
