(Passiflora caerulea)
Large 3-8″ Diameter Flowers
“We also Offer Purple Passion Flowers which are just as Gorgeous, and Also Produce a Tasty Passion Fruit.”
One of the most popular food plants for butterfly enthusiasts is the passion vine. Not only does it attract butterflies, it also has exotic flowers that attract hummingbirds and pollinators. They made use of almost all the plant parts, including roots, flowers, leaves and fruit.
Vines can reach 30 feet in height and 5 feet in width. Passiflora develops evergreen, glossy, 3-, 7- or 9-lobed leaves. Curled tendrils can be seen at the base of each leaf. Passiflora develops large, showy flowers that can reach 3 to 8 inches in diameter. All share exotic flowers that remain open for only about a day. The flower has a wide, flat petal base with five or 10 petals in a flat or reflex circle. Passionflowers are rapid growers and are best planted in spring or early fall while it’s still warm. Where they are hardy, passionflowers are usually trained on a trellis, fence, or other vertical structures—in regions where they are not hardy, passionflower plants are often grown in pots and moved indoors for the winter.

Blue Passion Flower Germination:
1) Scarify them by rubbing with sandpaper.
2) Soak them for one to two days in warm water. Change water daily.
3) Use a heated propagator. The seeds need heat to sprout. Ideally the temperature during the night should be 68 degrees Fahrenheit, and the daytime temperature should be 86 degrees Fahrenheit. Keeping the temperature a constant 79 degrees Fahrenheit works well too.
4) Place the well-soaked seeds on the surface of damp potting mix, pat down, but Do Not Cover since they Need Light to germinate.
5) Seeds heated with a propagator to the proper temperature, some seeds will sprout within 2 weeks, while most others may take up to 10 weeks,…so a bit of patience will be required as with any Exotic or Tropical seeds.
