Default Passiflora (hardy)


Does anyone have any experience of how hardy and vigorous
P. caerulea "Clear Sky" and "White Ligntning" are relative to
(a) the common form and (b) "Constance Elliott"? My experience
is that "Constance Elliott" is definitely less vigorous and hardy
than the blue form, but it's based on a sample of one!

Also, has anyone got fruit off "Clear Sky"?

Lastly, does anyone know of a source of P. incarnata, or do I
grow from Chiltern Seeds again? Mine is doing fine, but I can't
dig up its suckers to propagate it (because of where it is) and
I would like to try another somewhere else. The Plant Finder has
6 suppliers, but none of them have it on their Web page (which
probably means in stock, my experience last time). Tynings'
Web page and telephone information are, er, minimal :-)
