Blue Passion Flower | Passiflora Caerulea
Blue Passion Flower - 9cm Pot 'Passiflora caerulea'
The Blue Passion Flower is a highly unusual and exotic semi-evergreen climber. From July to September it blooms and produces gorgeous large white flowers with central filaments of purple and blue surrounded by dark-green glossy foliage. This is followed by egg shaped orange fruit which is edible but is not particularly tasty as the Blue Passion Flower is mainly grown for its showstopping flowers.
A vigorous grower this hardy plant will easily cover a trellis, wall or fence. It is happiest placed in a sheltered spot in either the full sun or partial shade in moist but well-drained soil.
Blue Passion Flower has been awarded the Award of Garden Merit given by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), which helps gardeners make informed choices about plants.

Advice on hot and droopy plants
If your plants are looking a little wilted right now, don’t worry! Plants like to be filled with water to keep their structure, and when it’s hot that water evaporates.
Just give them an off-schedule watering and they’ll be right as rain in no time! Be careful not to flood them - plants don’t like extremes.
- Hardiness: The climbing plants we stock will are well accustomed to colder environments, so they are perfectly suited to the UK’s weather.
- Soil: Soil types can be an unwelcome confusion as many plants will adapt to their conditions. Nonetheless, less than ideal conditions will certainly limit your plant’s growth. Waterlogged soils will starve it of oxygen, which plays a key role in photosynthesis; causing its roots to rot and creating an optimal environment for disease.
