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 it starts to freeze. This variety will tolerate temperatures down to freezing, but prolonged cold temperatures will kill it.

Included Variety Descriptions:
Clear Sky:
Clear Sky is a hybrid vine that produces truly spectacular flowers that can be up to 5″ across. It’s flowers have white petals with purple, white and blue striped filaments. Plus it has such attractive, glossy, dark green leaves, that it makes a great plant to have around even when it isn’t flowering.
We find Clear Sky to be a well mannered plant that is easily maintained to a manageable size. This makes more accessible to gardeners with limited space, and it is an ideal plant for both growing in a container or planting in the ground.
Maximize your blooms by planting this vine in full sun. However it will also tolerate some shade at the expense of fewer blooms.
Betty Myles Young:
This hybrid sports enormous blueish-purple flowers in abundance from spring to frost. This is a large, free-flowering, undemanding vine with attractive, dark, glossy leaves and purplish stems. Due to its size and vigor this vine is ideally planted in the ground somewhere it has space to spread. However, if you live in a cold climate and provide it with a large container it will perform just as well for you as if it was planted in the ground. Plus it is sterile which means that it won’t make a mess dropping fruit if you keep it in a pot on your patio.
Maximize your blooms by planting this vine in full sun. However it will also tolerate some shade at the expense of fewer blooms.
Blue Eyed Susan:
Blue Eyed Susan displays huge, fragrant, deep purple flowers topped with dozens of long wavy filaments that almost completely obscure the petals. Easy to grow, vigorous vine produces flowers all year long. This vine has coarse textured, attractive semi-glossy foliage. While it can be a large vine, it is not overly aggressive, and it performs well grown in containers. It also responds well to pruning. Following the blossoms medium sized speckled fruit may appear. The fruit is edible and is similar to maypop fruit (Passiflora incarnata).
Plant in full sun as this vine likes heat and sun.
