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.

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.

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.

Panda is similar to Passiflora ‘Clear Sky’ and Passiflora ‘Betty Myles Young’ in size and performance and would complement them nicely.  If you like either of those two varieties or the Common Blue Passion Flower, Passiflora caerulea, you should love Panda. Similar to its parents, Panda will tolerate a frost, but it is not particularly cold hardy.  It would be best to protect it from freezing temperatures, and it will likely thank you with year round blossoms.

Maximize your blooms by planting this vine in full sun. However it will also tolerate some shade at the expense of fewer blooms.

The post Passiflora ‘Panda’ 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.

Hardiness Zone: 6

What does hardiness zone 6 mean?

It means that this Passiflora is cold tolerant and does not require protection from freezing temperatures. If you are growing it outdoors, it can survive temperatures down to about 0 degrees as long as it is in a well drained spot.  The top will be killed to the ground, but it should re-sprout from the roots. Additionally, in colder areas, it 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 incarnata ‘Alba’ first appeared on Snowdrop Farm.

This particular variety is very upright and not quite as dwarf as some of the other varieties we grow. It grows 2-4′ tall and would make an exceptional centerpiece in a mixed container. As with other Abutilons, it responds well to pruning and can be maintained to a smaller size quite easily.

Abutilon is an evergreen perennial in warm climates, and can be easily grown as an outdoor annual or a houseplant in colder climates. It isn’t picky about its environment as long as it receives plenty of water and bright light.  It is suited for both container culture or planting in the ground, and will happily bloom on your windowsill or outside on your patio. Abutilons respond well to pruning. Flower buds are produced on new growth, so they can be easily be shaped and maintained to size with regular trimming

Because of its leaf and flower shape, Abutilon is known by many different names, they include flowering maple, parlor maple, Indian mallow, Chinese bellflower, and Chinese Lantern.

You will receive 1 Abutilon starter plant in 2.5″ pot for each item added to the cart. An example of starter plants is included in the photos.  The plants are well rooted and are ready to be potted into a larger container.

These vines will produce delicious juicy tropical fruits like you can purchase at the store. Passion fruit vines are very tropical, and those living in warm climates have the best chances of producing ripe fruit.  Northern gardeners trying to grow fruit should be prepared to bring the large vines inside as fruit will not be able to set and ripen before frost. While one Passiflora edulis may set fruit without a pollinator, a 2nd plant increases your chances of success. This collection includes 2 similar looking, but genetically different edulis varieties. Descriptions of the included varieties are below.
