I have lost my main one and the labels have been taken out of my backups passiflora's, a nice tot did it for me :) Hazel Vanderplank gives the following for P. Amethyst: aka 'Lavendar Lady' (sic) or 'Star of Mikan' "leaves 60-80mm long, 100-120mm wide, deeply 3-lobed for 4/5ths of their length, 5 nerves, membranous, with 2 small glands in the sinuses". He does say that it can be grown outdoors but needs a sheltered position. Minimum temperature 2C (35F), but will tolerate lower temperatures for brief periods. He implies it's best grown indoors or in a greenhouse or conservatory. Often confused with P.amethystina, the leaves of which also have 3 lobes but which are broader and much more T-shaped overall. This one is tender, minimum temperature 10C (50F). -- Chris E-mail: christopher[dot]hogg[at]virgin[dot]net |
