Incarnata will produce copious quantities of small tasty fruit if pollinated.  However, Passion Flowers do not generally self-pollinate. This bundle contains two genetically different plant which ensures that you will be able to get fruit. The starter plants in this bundle include 1 Passiflora incarnata, and 1 Passiflora incarnata ‘Alba’.

The post Passiflora Cold Hardy Fruiting Bundle first appeared on Snowdrop Farm.

Like its parent Passiflora caerulea, this vine produces a lot of small, inedible fruits. The fruits are fairly firmly held on the vine and are not particularly messy. Loefgrenii x caerulea is fairly cold tolerant and will survive some frost, however it would appreciate protection from freezing temperatures, and prolonged freezing temperatures will kill it.

In most places you should plant this vine in full sun. However, in very hot climates it would prefer to have some light afternoon shade which will likely help it to keep the blossoms from wilting in the heat.

For each item added to your 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.

The post Passiflora loefgrenii x caerulea first appeared on Snowdrop Farm.

Small to medium pure white blooms are produced in abundance all summer long. Despite not having flowers as big as some other varieties, Passiflora incarnata more than makes up for it with volume. In addition, this is one of the easiest vines to grow, as it will reward you for your neglect with flowers, lots of flowers. If pollinated, the flowers are followed with small fruits you can eat. Best of all, it is a native plant that is pollinator and wildlife friendly. You will likely find, that this vine is a magnet for both pollinators and fritillary butterfly larvae.

When it gets frozen in the fall, it dies back to the ground and reappears in May resulting in its common name ‘maypop’.  Also, it will sucker from the roots and spread sending up new stems where the roots have run to. You can control its spread by simply pulling or cutting down the unwanted sprouts.

You should plant it in full sun and provide it with plenty of water during the growing season to get the most flowers. However, to successfully overwinter this vine, it will need to be located in a well drained spot.

For each item added to your 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.

The post Passiflora incarnata first appeared on Snowdrop Farm.

Passiflora ‘Lavender Lady’ is one of our absolute favorites here in our zone 8 garden.  While it doesn’t have a reputation for being exceptionally hardy, it has reliably come back from the roots for us year after year.  Our vine is planted in full sun, and while it blooms somewhat sporadically for us in the summer, late summer and fall is when this plant really starts to shine.  When everything is going dormant and looking drab and brown, Lavender Lady is busy producing dozens of flowers every day, and will keep it up until we get a hard freeze.

In most places you should plant this vine in full sun. However, in very hot climates it would prefer to have some light afternoon shade which will likely help it to keep blooming in the heat.

For each item added to your 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 ‘Lavender Lady’ is an old variety with an unknown parentage.  It is sometimes considered synonymous with Passiflora ‘Amethyst’ (P. amethystina x P. caerulea).

Hardiness zone: 8

What does hardiness zone 8b mean?

It means that this Passiflora is somewhat cold tolerant and does not require protection from freezing temperatures. If you are growing it planted in the ground outdoors, it can survive temperatures down to about 15 degrees.  The top will be killed to the ground, but should re-sprout from the roots. It requires a well drained location, and would benefit from a protective winter mulch.  If grown in a container, it will need to have the roots protected from freezing temperatures.

The post Passiflora ‘Lavender Lady’ first appeared on Snowdrop Farm.

This vine has many other valuable features, not the least of which is how easy it is to grow. This attribute makes it a great choice for a first passion flower. Other pros to this plant include that it will bloom spring to fall, and even in the winter if given enough light and warmth. It is unfazed by summer heat or cool autumn weather. Plus it is a smaller vine which makes it an excellent choice for growing in containers.  This makes it accessible to gardeners in colder climates. Lastly, unlike many Passiflora which can be difficult to overwinter without a greenhouse, this vine will overwinter inside in a sunny window without fuss.

Like most Passion Flowers, this vine will perform best if planted in full sun, though it will tolerate some shade without much reduction in blooms.

For each item added to your 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.

The post Passiflora ‘Belotii’ first appeared on Snowdrop Farm.

It is a white selection of the popular Blue Crown Passion Flower, Passiflora caerulea. However, it is a very different plant. This vigorous, easy to grow vine is much smaller and more well mannered. For that reason, it does well both planted in the ground, and in containers.  It looks similar to Passiflora ‘White Wedding’ but is a smaller more dainty plant with superior cold hardiness.

Like most Passiflora, you should plant this vine in full sun for best performance. Also in contrast to Passiflora caerulea this vine does not seem to possess as great a degree of cold hardiness. Though that has been our experience, you may still wish to try it in your zone 8 garden as your micro-climate may be different than ours.

For each item added to your 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 ‘Constance Eliott’ is P. caerulea ‘Constance Eliott’. It is a very old selection of P. caerulea that was in general cultivation by 1892, and is commonly misspelled as Elliot, Elliott, or Eliot.
