blue passion flower · Passiflora caerulea
Also known as: blue crown; common passion flower; flower of five wounds; southern beauty; wild apricot
Fast-growing climber for sun or partial shade, with shelter, thrives in moist but well-drained soil. In cold areas, grow in a container and overwinter in a conservatory or greenhouse. See passion flower cultivation
Routine pruning is unnecessary; shorten overlong shoots to fit the available space. For last-year flowering growth, prune after flowering; for current-year flowering growth, prune in late winter or spring. This guidance is for established plants.
