    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Like a fairy taking flight or a colorful Japanese lantern, Passiflora platyloba creates a most unusual floral display. Each flower has 3 large petals with strikingly marked purple and white speckled filaments that hang down from the petals. This Central American native has a rich fragrance, which is distinctly and sweetly different than other passion flowers. Flowering occurs during the longer days of the year, especially when grown in full sun and poor soil.
