Description

Passiflora ‘Clear Sky’ is a hybrid vine that produces truly spectacular flowers that can be up to 5″ across. It’s flowers have white petals with purple, white and blue striped filaments. Plus it has such attractive, glossy, dark green leaves, that it makes a great plant to have around even when it isn’t flowering.

If you like the Common Blue Passion Flower, you will LOVE Clear Sky. This is because the flowers of Passiflora ‘Clear Sky’ will dwarf the flowers of Passiflora caerulea. Additionally, while many sources state that it is larger and more vigorous than the Blue Passion flower, in our experience that is just not the case. We find Clear Sky to be a well mannered plant that is easily maintained to a manageable size. This makes more accessible to gardeners with limited space, and it is an ideal plant for both growing in a container or planting in the ground.

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

For those interested, Passiflora ‘Clear Sky’ is P. caerulea ‘Clear Sky’. It is a tetraploid selection of P. caerulea by Roland Fischer.
