Description

Passiflora incarnata Elizabeth is a gorgeous climber with bisexual flowers grow up to 3.5cm wide. This cultivar is a hybrid of the P. phoenicea 'Ruby Glow' and P. incarnata. Its flowers are similar in shape to the "Ruby glow" flowers but have a  lavender-purple color with deep blue filaments and green structures at its centre.

The bilobate leaves are simple and can grow up to 10cm long and wide. It has 3 conspicuous sub-veins  spreading outwards from the base, the leaf lobes are ovate to lanceolate in shape.

This is a fast growing vine upto 8' to 10' which produces abundant flowers in winters and continues to flower on and off throught the year. Buttflies are extremly fond of Passion flowers.

Environment

Full sun, a southern exposure, is necessary for optimum growth and flowering. If flowers fail to open, it is usually due to insufficient light.

Bring the soil to a state of visual dryness between waterings. When watering, thoroughly saturate the soil until a little water runs out of the bottom of the pot. Growing in a clay pot will help maintain a healthy root system.

Landscape

Passiflora is widely cultivated as a wall-climber or as groundcover

Flowering plants need access to bright sunlight to remain healthy and blooming. An easy facing balcony is the best place for the plants in Indian conditions. Try keeping them in bright sunlight but also where they get a little cover from the harsh afternoon sun. Some plants which are a little tender tend to burn due to the same.

Plants with thin leaves need daily watering and ones with thick leaves need watering 3-4 times a week. This will also depend on the season. Generally during the blooming period, plants love a lot of water. Try keeping the soil moist. During winters it is better to cut back on watering.

Keep the plants in a well drained soil with a drainage hole at the bottom. This will help to avoid over watering. Take care as to not leave stagnant water on top of the soil. Fertilise the plant once in 2-3 weeks during its blooming period. Do not fertilise it in winters.
