Flowering time:
With good care, passion flowers bloom from June to September.
Leaf and flower:
Their strikingly large flowers are a unique feast for the eyes and have a diameter of about 7 to 9 cm. They come in a wide variety of shapes and colors. The most well-known has five whitish petals and sepals surrounded by a wreath of delicate, colorful threads. From their center protrude five golden anthers and three brown stigmas. Passion flowers require a trellis, but they will conquer anything they can grasp. A flower only opens for about 24 hours, but with proper care, new blooms will continually appear.
Wintering:
The plants are best grown in a cap, as they are only frost-resistant down to about -10 degrees Celsius and should be placed in a bright, warm place between 0 and 10 degrees Celsius during the winter. To ensure a good winter dormancy, they are pruned before being moved into the new place. Watering and fertilizing should be very sparing in winter.
