Passiflora alata

incredible! stunning colours

Bearing in mind the lack of sun this year I'm happy enough!

i would be too ~ you can see all the colours! will they last just over a day like the other types?

I really don't know yet..............

not long to wait if they are like the blue one!!!

Don't tempt fate!

ok, good luck then!

Looks fabulous : )

Thanks Stevie!

Oh wow...Meanie its lovely...My fav Passionflower...:>)

Just this one bloom was worth it Moti!

I now have a more mature plant for next year (it was but a small cutting when I got it) that should perform better.

This is beautiful Meanie , I saw one recently in full flower in a country house conservatory it was stunning , another one for my wish list !

Hopefully with a better summer and a more mature plant mine will be stunning next year!

Will this grow outside on a south facing wall Meanie ? now that we have had to take shrubs out that damaged the down pipes I shall have to think of something else to put against the walls , some plants that haven't huge roots I think would be best !

It's too tender to live outdoors Amy, and needs real heat to bloom.

P amethyst may be ok in a sheltered spot.................

I've been busy reading up about them Meanie and can see that they are very tender , I'm afraid none of them will be suitable for the spot I had in mind they get the sun but also catch the winter frosts :o(

Check out Maurizio vecchias site Amy. Here's the link to his hardiness guide...............

Thanks Meanie I'll do that .........

Gosh that's useful .. I had no idea there were so many !!

My fave Passiflora site Amy!

Love those colours, have been trying to find one that will grow outside also, the common one grows like a weed here, was hoping to find something more unusual, will try that site you mentioned.....

It's a good source of reference and inspiration DD!

Here's his list of other plants too...............
