Description:
This passion flower grows quickly and thrives in a multitude of substrates, but it will be all the more vigorous if the soil is rich and moist.
In spring and throughout the summer, the flowering offers purple white flowers seven centimeters in diameter.
It is cultivated for its ornamental qualities. Be careful, its fruits are poisonous.
In order for this passion flower to flower properly, it is important to limit the development of its roots and therefore, ideally, it is preferable to grow it in a large pot. Indeed, if the soil is too light, the roots will develop to the detriment of flowering and fruit production. Severe pruning must also be carried out at the start of winter to guarantee optimal growth the following spring.
Like many passionflowers, it needs moist soil to grow well. It will tolerate drought but to the detriment of its flowering and fruiting.
