Description

Passiflora nigradenia has large pendulous flowers with white petals and pinkish striped filaments. They are produced on a vigorous, sturdy vine. This vigorous vine is coarse textured and boasts large leathery leaves. You will find the ornate, fragrant flowers appearing in clusters hanging daintily beneath the foliage. In addition to the gorgeous flowers, it will produce tasty yellow-orange edible fruit if pollinated by another vine.

While you may never have heard of this variety, this uncommon, little known gem is worth growing.  Because it likes hot weather and grows vigorously under warm conditions, you should consider it particularly if you live in a hot climate. Nonetheless, people in colder climates can also give this vine a try, as we find that it grows well in containers. In fact, in our greenhouse we have winter blossoms on potted plants.

This vine likes heat, and you should plant it in full sun if possible. Additionally, you should be sure to keep it warm.  It does not appreciate sitting out in cold temperatures. This means that if you are overwintering it in a cold climate you should bring it in before it starts getting too cold.

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 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.
