It is the most typical variety with white-blue-purple flowers with a diameter of 6-8 cm and dark green, serrated, semi-evergreen, heart-shaped leaves. It is a fast-growing, perennial vine that serves as an original, exotic decoration for arbors, balconies, fences, and enclosures. The vine originates from the tropical regions of Brazil and Argentina and is the national flower of Paraguay. It is also suitable for container cultivation, where it grows up to 2 meters.

Use: The plant is recommended for cultivation both along fences and in containers on terraces or balconies, as well as in winter gardens. It attaches itself to supports with tendrils. Supports are necessary near walls. It has edible fruits called passion fruit, rich in vitamin C, whose pulp is used to make juices, jellies, smoothies, and delicious fruit cocktails.

Blooming and fruiting: The flowers are flat, with dark pink petals and very decorative, long white outer stamens with discolorations forming colorful rings. The corona is purple. The whole creates a beautiful contrast. It blooms from June to September. The flowers have a faint fragrance. The fruits, called passion fruit, are orange-yellow in color, round in shape, and slightly sour.

Position: It requires sheltered, warm, sunny spots. It is best to plant it near south or west walls. Strongly sunlit.

Care: It requires fertile, moist, garden soil that is well-drained. During hot summers, water 1-2 times a week to keep the root ball consistently moist. Frost damages the top shoots. The plant should be covered with straw for the winter. Container-grown seedlings should be placed in a warmer, bright room with temperatures between 5-12°C for the winter. With proper care, the plant can reach 1 meter in length within 6-8 months. During the dormancy period, leaves often fall off. However, new shoots appear in spring. After dormancy, it should be pruned to 4-8 buds, and the soil should be replaced.

Pruning: Passionflower blooms profusely on side shoots, so the main shoot should be pruned earlier. It is recommended to cut all frozen and unwanted shoots in April. By shortening the shoots by one-third of their length, we stimulate faster growth.
