Description
Passiflora Quadrangularis is a fast-growing, semi-woody evergreen perennial climber with nodding red flowers, each surrounded by white and purple filaments. It is a vigorous, tender climbs to a usual height of 10 - 15 m.
Tendrils are located at the axils, with leaf-like, ovate shaped stipules. Leaves are broadly ovate to oblong-ovate, measuring 10 - 20 cm long and 8 - 15 cm wide, and alternately arranged along the stem. Base is rounded to cordate, while apex is abruptly acute. Leaf blade is thin, with visible sunken veins on the upper surface, and prominent on the undersides.
Bloom is 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
