About This

• Passion Flowers are native to Brazil and Argentina and are an absolute must-have for any romance, heirloom, or butterfly garden.All passion vine flowers are unique and unlike any other flowering plant. In the early 1600s, Catholic priests in Peru documented what they believed to be a religious symbolism in the unique flowers of this beautiful vine. The priests related the parts of the flower to features of the Crucifixion, and thus the name passiflora or passion flower was coined.
• Incense Passion Vineis a hybrid type. It is a slower and less aggressively than many, but is a prolific nectar rich bloomer, producing lovely, fragrant, deep violet and blue-toned flower that are attractive to a wide variety of pollinators. It does sometimes set fruit, but not easily, and typically requires hand pollination with a different species to create fruit that will mature and ripen.
• Care: For optimal growth, plant your passion flower in a partial-shade location with fertile, well-draining soil and a trellis or other support. Water deeply, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings to avoid spindly growth. Fertilize with a quality, bloom-boosting fertilizer in the spring, and prune as needed after flowering to control size.
• Indoor Growing: Most Passiflora Vines can be grown indoors, but may require substantial modifications to increase light, temperature, and humidity to produce flowers. To grow indoors, place the plant in a pot with good drainage and position it in bright, indirect light. A small trellis can provide necessary support. Misting the leaves can help maintain the humidity. Plants grown indoors rarely produce fruit.
• Climate: This vine is well-suited for USDA Zones 6B to 10. While it can survive in Zones 6B and 7, success depends on preparing the plant for winter. In warmer Zone 10 climates, a moderately shaded location is recommended.
