Blue Passion Flower Vine

Many gardeners in the warmer regions of the country, and beyond, cannot help but to be passionate about Passion Flower. The beautiful vine, with its exotic tendrils winding around trellises, makes a quick green screen that very soon has spectacular and compelling flowers. This plant is gorgeous in the garden or shading a porch or deck. With good sunlight, heat, and some humidity, Blue Passion Flower Vine is trainable around a frame or trellis. The tendrils cling to brickwork, arbors or fences, but it will not cause any damage to their surfaces.

In zones 1-6, try planting in a pot outdoors in the summer as a patio accent – just make sure to prune heavily after flowering and bring indoors for the winter. You can cut up to one half of the year's growth to control the size. Feed the Passion Vine regularly before and during the flowering season. Repotting and pruning are usually done in late fall, before spring stimulates fresh new growth. In warmer zones, Blue Passion Flower is a reliable perennial vine. It will go dormant each winter, but bloom profusely with the ability to grow up to 25 ft long!
