Product Description

Give an Exotic Touch to Your Garden!

Most passionflowers are vining plants, with about 500 species and flowers that grow up to six inches across. These dazzling, vibrant plants thrive in the tropics and love to climb. They tend to live most comfortably in zones 7 and up, but some hardier varieties may tolerate zones as low as 5. Many will produce edible fruit, and some cultures even use them to make tea

Placement & Planting

Placement
The best way to provide your passionflower with the perfect place to live is on a trellis or fence. Not only are they widespread, but they’re fast growers, and can grow twenty feet in just a single season. You could also place them by a wall, where their tendrils could grip even concrete.
Planting
Use a well draining soil with an organic mulch with a mixture of bark and dead leaves. Once the plants are mature and well established, pruning may be necessary to keep them at their desired size. Remove dead foliage on a regular basis to help encourage healthy growth. For winters, the surface of the plant will die in frost, but if you apply a heavy mulch beforehand then they will bounce back in the spring. Preferably, you should transfer your passionflower indoors during winters if the weather gets too cold in your area.

Sunlight & Watering

Sunlight
They like full sun, and if indoors, place them by a south facing window. During especially hot months, then can tolerate some brief afternoon shade. If the leaves look dry and brown, then you can up the humidity by misting them or experiment by giving and taking away shade and wait to see how the plant responds. Sometimes they can get burnt, and might need some temporary relief from the heat. If so, you can relocate them to an area or introduce some covering.
Watering
For the healthiest growth, they need about two deep soakings a week. In short, that should amount to about one to two inches with no rain. Since the vines are shallow rooted, the organic mulch helps to retain moisture and keep them adequately hydrated. Keep a close eye on the plant and try to adapt to its needs; if the leaves become limp or droopy, you may be watering too much, or if too dry, they need more water, and so on. 

Fertilizing

Fertilizing
For optimal flower growth, use a solid fertilizer with a ratio of 2-1-3, 4-4-4, 5-7-5. 6-6-6, or somewhere along those lower numbers with an equal balance of phosphorous, nitrogen, and potassium. Start before new growth emerges in the spring and fertilize every four weeks through to fall. Only use the recommended dosage, or a light application if necessary. Without the right nutrients, your passionflower won’t bloom at all, so the right amount of fertilizer and water is necessary.
