Exotic blooms grace the vines of passion flowers. The genus Passiflora comprises more than 500 species of mostly climbers and occasionally shrubs and trees. They are generally evergreen perennials, but a few are fast-growing annuals. They are native to the sub-tropical and tropical regions of the world, excluding Europe and Antarctica. Africa is home to many plants from the family Passifloraceae but none in this genus.

(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.

(Blue Passionflower, Constance Elliott Passionflower)

This cultivar of passionflower, ‘Constance Elliott,’ is a fast-growing evergreen climber that offers some of the most exotic blooms in the world. Its parent species hails from from South America where many species were brought into cultivation early, producing man-made hybrids. Light-green stems grow quickly, and bear three-part leaves in abundance. In fact, they are so vigorous in mild climates as to become quite invasive, but their beauty more than makes up for the work to keep them in bounds....
