Passifloraceae
Passiflora caerulea
Blue Passionflower
Passionflower is a fast-growing evergreen climber from South America. The flowers emerge n summer and are stunning and exotic. Bowl-shaped, white (sometimes light pink), with blue, white, or purple centers, they bloom repeatedly through the fall. The yellow-orange fruit is edible but not particularly tasty.
This fast-growing vine is one of the most hardy passionflowers, and tolerates many soil types. It prefers full sun. Grow it a trellised container, or against a wall in a mixed border.
