Latin name: Passiflora Common name: Passion Flower Supplied in 9cm pot Characteristics: Climber, great for trellises and hanging baskets, distinctive pink flowers that bloom prolifically throughout spring, summer and autumn, evergreen if moved to a warmer place in winter months, attracts butterflies and hummingbirds Plant advice: As this variety is barely hardy, it will require a sheltered location in your garden or, if kept in a container, should be taken to a warmer location in the winter months. If it isn’t exposed to frost, it will retain its foliage year-round. Your Passiflora will thrive in a spot that benefits from full sun or partial shade. If the flowers fail to open, this usually indicates that the plant is not getting a sufficient amount of light. It’s quite tolerant of most soil types that are moist, well-drained and fertile, with emphasis on good drainage. Water your Passiflora infrequently, but deeply. This is to encourage the plant to grow a strong root structure, reaching deep for moisture. Make sure that the soil exhibits visual dryness between waterings. We recommend that you fertilise your Passiflora with slow-release bloom booster fertilizer. Beware of fertilizers abundant in nitrogens, as they can reduce the flowering.
