Common Blue Passion Flower Plants
Common Blue Passion Flower Plants
Passion flowers are some of the most distinctively exotic around, and this hardy species is the most commonly grown variety in the UK. The outer part of the flower is white with a hint of green, and the inner corona is blue-purple. The yellow-orange fruit are edible, but not tasty, so best left for decoration.
This vigorous climber will generally be evergreen in the South, and will lose its leaves in the North: it depends on the winter and the microclimate. To 10 metres.
