Hardiness Zone: 10

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.

Included Variety Descriptions:
Citrina:
Dainty 1.5″ sunny yellow blooms sit atop velvety leaves. The numerous yellow blossoms really stand out against the rich green foliage making this a striking specimen. Despite having smaller blooms than many Passion Flowers, the sheer number of blossoms more than makes up for it. This is an extremely free flowering plant in an unusual color that is great for beginners as it is very easy to grow.
Aside from its unusual color, it’s small size is another endearing feature. This vine is best suited to growing in a container, and due to its miniature size, it is very easy to manage. It makes a good house plant for a sunny window, and will reward you with flowers year round.
To keep the blooms coming you should provide this vine with plenty of light and moisture. Grow it in a sunny spot outdoors, or in the sunniest window you have.
Adularia:
Dainty, pastel pink blossoms cover this free flowering plant year round. Adularia’s blooms are smaller and less showy than many Passiflora blossoms, but it more than makes up for it with sheer numbers. In fact, this vine is almost never without buds! It is a very easy to grow plant that maintains a small size and compact growth habit. Additionally, its leaves are accented with beautiful variegation.
For those who live in a frost free climate, this vine can be grown in the ground. Using it in a container is where it really shines though. Adularia is ideally suited to being container grown and works well as a house plant, or in a hanging basket.
You should provide this vine with plenty of light and moisture to keep it flowering. Grow it in a sunny spot outdoors, or in your sunniest window. If you are growing it indoors, it would benefit from temporarily moving outside to a sheltered spot in the warm summer months.
