Description
Passiflora sidifolia is a species from Brazil that has medium sized pendulous flowers with white petals and reddish-purple striped filaments. These fragrant, ornate blossoms are produced on a vigorous but compact vine with unique leathery, somewhat droopy leaves. This vine will bloom in waves throughout the year.
We find that while Passiflora sidifolia grows happily during our summer heat, it does not typically bloom in extremely hot weather. However, it does bloom well in cool weather and is quite cold tolerant. Our vine blooms happily even in November when most flowers are gone, and temperature are dipping down near freezing overnight. We find the vine to be easy to grow, but not as free flowering as some of the hybrids. We have never had this vine produce fruit, but it is capable of setting edible fruit if pollinated.
Passiflora sidifolia is also sometimes incorrectly called Passiflora sidaefolia, and Passiflora sidiifolia.

Hardiness Zone: 9
What does hardiness zone 9 mean?
It means that this Passiflora is not cold tolerant and requires protection from freezing temperatures. If you are growing it outdoors, bring it inside once temperatures start to get to around 32 degrees. While it can tolerate a very light frost, freezing temperatures will kill it.
