Passiflora

Passiflora pardifolia 4" pot


The leaves on this passiflora are very showy: distinctive variegation and prominent yellow egg mimic glands.  For a decaloba, the white flowers are quite large and prominent with a halo of lavender around the center.  Really choice and different.  Prized as a host plant for Heleconius butterflies

Subgenus: Decaloba, Supersection: Decaloba, Section: Decaloba.

Light: Full sun, part shade.  There will be less flowers in part shade.

Water: Moderate.

Soil: A wide range of soil, but it must be well-drained.

Fertilizer: A slow-release, bloom-booster type fertilizer is appreciated, but beware of using a fertilizer with too much nitrogen as it may push leaves at the expense of flowers.

Hardiness: Zone 10, but won't tolerate excessive heat.
