Default Advice on which type of Passion Flower to go for?

Hi

I'm going to be buying a Passion vine and need to know which type to go
for that would survive cold weather.

It'll be kept in the wheelhouse of a boat which is un-insulated, so it
will be protected from the wind but the tempreture will be pretty much
the same as outdoors, which is pretty chilly most of the time. I'm
guessing during Summer it'd have almost a greenhouse affect for the
plant, if we manage to have any Summer that is.

Anyone know of any good types of vines that are pretty hardcore through
cold weather but still have the colourful scented flowers too?

Thanks in advance!



I once got a P. incarnata to survive two winters in Michigan, 6b.
