Passiflora caerulea 'Constance Elliott'
Is anyone growing this? I ask simply because they're in flower now and it's
just such a lovely, delicate plant. It's a sport of the better known P. caerulea, I think and it's white and wonderful AND it's as hardy as its cousin. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (email address on website) |

It's OK, but not exciting. Admittedly, my caerulea hasn't flowered at all so far this year, for reasons known only to itself. It is possibly because it has access to a lot more water and was cut back hard. The one that I am chuffed with is my P. incarnata, which I grew from seed, and is flowering now. It is the very devil to grow in most parts of the UK, as it can't stand the combination of even slight frost and waterlogging. Mine is in the rain shadow of the eaves, sharing a bed with Cyclamen coum, which also likes that. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

Passiflora caerulea 'Constance Elliott'
One of our passiflora caerulea has large numbers of flowers this year,
more than ever, the bees love it, esp bumble bees. It's still flowering, & fruiting like crazy!! I loves the weather, on the front of the south facing house & yet again trying to get into the living room!! Not sure if it's edulis, but I have tried some of the fruit in previous years!! nice! I LOVE passiflora, really considering renewing my Passiflora society membership. I went to visit John Vanderplank , who is the custodian of the Passiflora collection in the UK.. Amazing place, would love to go again!! http://www.passiflora-uk.co.uk/ JW Sacha wrote: Is anyone growing this? I ask simply because they're in flower now and it's just such a lovely, delicate plant.
