Passiflora ‘Silvie’ produces very pleasantly fragrant show stopping blooms. That means you will want to make sure to plant this one somewhere that you can enjoy the delicate fragrance. This is not the only desirable characteristic it possesses though. This cold hardy vine produces medium to large sized purple-blue blooms. Purple filaments that abruptly turn deep maroon near the center adorn this plant’s flowers. It is a delicate looking, but large, vigorous vine with deep green lobed leaves. Blooms profusely all summer long, and may keep blooming into winter if kept warm enough. This vine makes a good choice for both in ground or container planting as it is easy to prune to maintain its size.
To get the most out if this vine, you should plant it in full sun and give it plenty of water during the growing season.
