Description
Passiflora serrulata has very unique greenish and purple flowers surrounded by large papery bracts that resemble lanterns before the buds open. These flowers are held dangling below a vigorous, sturdy vine with oval leaves. Passiflora serrulata is a large vigorous vine, and due to the way the flowers are held it lends itself well to being planted on a pergola or other large support structure that allows viewing the plant from below. In addition to the gorgeous flowers, it will produce edible fruit if pollinated by another vine. If you wish to grow fruit a different P. serrulata strain would be the best choice for a pollination partner.
Passiflora serrulata is a species native to Columbia and Venezuela, and likes warm temperatures. It typically flowers mid-late summer for us. It can be a bit tricky to grow, so is best for a more experienced grower. Nonetheless, it is worth growing for its unique flowers and tasty fruits.

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.
