Another shrubby passiflora with clusters of bright red flowers. This species is almost never seen for sale. It's a smaller plant with more delicate branches than some of the other Astropheas. Tolerates hot weather and tropical conditions, but I haven't had any trouble in my sometimes cool (50 degrees F!) greenhouse. I haven't tried it, but the fruit is reported to be small but tasty.
