I have seldom been more excited to introduce a new passiflora species! This is an extremely rare species that has never been offered for sale. Native to extremely rugged areas of Papua New Guinea, this beautiful passionflower has proven to be surprisingly easy for me to grow. It is not at all cold hardy, but provided that it is kept from cold weather, it thrives. I was able to grow it on my windowsill indoors for over a year before taking cuttings to start sharing.
The flower is a stunning purple grape ombre with an interesting blackish central tube instead of the more usual corona filaments, this "old world" species is related to Passiflora aurantia and Passiflora cinnabarina (two more of my favorites!). I have only been growing it for about 18 months so I'm really happy to find out how it does in a variety of climates. We would love to see this beautiful species receive the wide circulation it deserves. Please let me know how it does for you!
