Passiflora mathewsii 4" pot

Sold Out $15.00

Mathews Passion Flower. Charming, 2.5" pendant flowers that are pink with a ring of violet in the center. In my experience, this is the easiest Tacsonia to grow and bloom in a pot. Unlike many passiflora in the Tacsonia group, P. mathewsii will even bloom in a 4" pot! Will not tolerate excessive heat. Photos courtesy of Dan Pogust.
