Passion Flower vine 6 Fresh 2010 seeds
Passion flowers are exotic looking tropical plants.

My plant came from seeds off of my hubby's Grannies plant in Kentucky. I kept trying to get one going with starts off hers..they never made it. So I brought a passion fruit home and finally got some started by seeds. I planted one..it didn't come back, I put one in a fairly decent size pot,it bloomed last summer and this will be it's second yr.it is growing now in the house.I had one fruit from it last year.
It is now outside and BLOOMING!!!

It is called ‘passion-flower’ due to parts of the flower resembling the crown of thorns, nails and other symbols of Christ’s suffering. The passionflower is associated with faith, holy love, religious fervour and superstition. It is a prominent Christian flower symbol as its pointed leaf resembles a spear, the tendrils the whips, the column of the ovary signifies the cross and the dark circle of threads in the centre the crown of thorns.
The flower portrays the passion of Christ.
The three days’ life span of the flower is supposed to mean- “so shall the son of man be three days and nights in the heart of the earth”

I over winter my plant..as the winters are too much for it in my zone.Then in the spring I set it back out..

How cold do your winters get? I'm very itnerested in growing passion flowers, but I just don't have the room to take them indoors (coldest it gets over here is -10*c)

I'm in Ohio zone 5 and it is too cold for it to be a perennial here. Where are you?

I have one of these in this color even and I LOVE it! Babyboysmom - as far as tropicals go, this one is easiest to take care of indoors, I'm in zone 5, so mine goes outside in the summer but mostly lives inside.

I'm in lower mainland British Columbia, which is supposedly zone 8.

Hi..I did some checking and I think your zone 8 is close to what our zone 5 is.? I could be wrong..You could always try one planted in the ground and see if it returns the next year.
