Passiflora caerulea - Blue Passion Flower
With their blue-white flowers, the robust, frost-tolerant Blue Passion Flower (Passiflora caerulea) beautifully decorates your potted garden in summer. In milder regions it can be even planted out in the garden but should be well protected for the winter.
The vigorous Blue Passion Flower (Passiflora caerulea) differs from other Passion Flowers in its cold tolerance. Even long lasting sub-zero temperatures do not harm the roots, if planted in the garden and covered with a thick layer of leaves in winter. The shoots above ground die back as temperatures drop in the fall but re-sprout in April/May. The main flowering period is in the mid-summer months of July and August. If you cultivate Passiflora caerulea as pot plant and winter it in a bright room or conservatory, the bloom may last even into winter. Make sure humidity is above 60% or spray the leaves regularly. The 10 petals are light blueish, the base and tips of the corona blueish with a white center. The ’Constance Eliott’ variety is pure white except for the green filaments and the purple pistils. The leaves of both varieties are deeply lobed and five- to seven-fingered. The growth of the thin, flexible shoots is vigorous with a constant water supply and in places without too much heat. The flesh of the plum-sized, orange-yellow fruits, which ripen until fall, tastes very aromatic.
Quality: many & exotic flowers even on young plants; hardy; robust & easy to care for
Use: planted in the garden; in pots from April/October outside on balcony and terrace with overwintering indoors - all year round in a conservatory or bright room
