Description
Passiflora ‘Miri’ is a brand new, more heat tolerant pink hybrid. The flowers are bright pink with a deeper almost red center. The look very similar to Passiflora ‘Anastasia’ although the blooms are not quite as large. If you live in a hot location and want Anastasia’s pink blooms, Miri would likely be a better choice. While Miri still doesn’t thrive in extreme heat, it definitely seems to perform better than Anastasia who sometimes struggles to survive our summers.
Miri is an easy to grow fairly free flowering cultivar. The vigorous vine boasts deeply lobed, attractive, medium green leaves. Additionally it is quite cold tolerant. As this variety is quite new to us, we have not verified this. However, it is purported to be capable of surviving temperatures down to 20 degrees or below. We would not recommend exposing it to temperatures that cold for an extended period of time.
In most places you should plant it in full sun. However, in very hot climates give it some afternoon shade.
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 ‘Miri’ is Shawn Mattison’s hybrid, but parentage is unstated.
