Passiflora 'Betty Myles Young' 4" pot

$20.00

This is an interesting polyploid hybrid with large, reflexed purple flowers and a dark ring around the center. This is one of the passion flowers that resprouts from the roots, so it can tolerate a very stiff frost. The vine is very vigorous and will provide rapid cover on a trellis or wall.
