Description
Enormous 6″ diameter bright orange flowers and buds grace this ever blooming passion flower. It is always in flower, even in winter. It will even bloom indoors as a house plant. This vine stays on the small side when kept in a pot. Passiflora ‘Piresae’ (Piresii) responds well to pruning, and grows moderately slowly making it an excellent choice for a container or even a hanging basket in a sunny location. It also does well planted in the ground in warmer climates where it will get quite large. It has oval, pubescent leaves.
Plant this vine in full sun, and if growing indoors keep it in the brightest, sunniest window in the house. Keep in mind that this plant needs to be kept warm, and because of this it can be more difficult to grow than many other varieties.
For each item added to cart, you will receive 1 starter plant in a 2.5” pot. A photo example of the starter plants we ship can be found on our Ordering and Shipping FAQ page. The plants are well rooted and are ready to be potted into a larger container.
For those interested. Passiflora ‘Piresae’ is often misspelled and known as Passiflora ‘Piresii’. It is P. quadrifaria x P. vitifolia. John Vanderplank hybrid.
