Description
Dainty 1.5″ sunny yellow blooms sit atop the velvety leaves of Passiflora citrina. The numerous yellow blossoms really stand out against the rich green foliage making this a striking specimen. Despite having smaller blooms than many Passion Flowers, the sheer number of blossoms more than makes up for it. This is an extremely free flowering plant in an unusual color that is great for beginners as it is very easy to grow. Plus if you want to grow two varieties together to get some extra color, this vine is the perfect growing partner for Passiflora ‘Adularia‘.
Aside from its unusual color, it’s small size is another endearing feature. This vine is best suited to growing in a container, and due to its miniature size, it is very easy to manage. It makes a good house plant for a sunny window, and will reward you with flowers year round.
It is hummingbird pollinated, and much loved by pollinators and fritillary caterpillars.
To keep the blooms coming you should provide this vine with plenty of light and moisture. Grow it in a sunny spot outdoors, or in the sunniest window you have.
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.
Hardiness Zone: 10
What does hardiness zone 10 mean?
It means that Passiflora citrina is not cold tolerant and requires protection from freezing temperatures. If you are growing it outdoors, bring it inside once temperatures start regularly dipping below 50 degrees. Freezing temperatures will kill it.
