Description
Passiflora mucronata produces a large pure white passion flower that has diminutive filaments. It is unique among Passiflora. While most Passion Flowers open in the morning and close by early evening, this plant has bat pollinated blooms that tend to be open at night and closed by mid morning the following day. It would be excellent for planting somewhere you often entertain at night. It has very attractive ovate green leaves and performs well in a container. This vine tends to grow in a thick densely branched form making it easy to maintain to a small size. Additionally, it would pair well with another vine like Passiflora miersii which has a similar growth habit, attractive foliage, and dainty purple day blooming flowers.
You should plant this vine in full sun as it thrives on sun and heat. That means that if you keep it somewhere too cold or shaded, it likely won’t bloom for you. You should also keep it warm over the winter if you are container growing it.
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: 10
What does hardiness zone 10 mean?
It means that this Passiflora 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.
