Planted as 1 gallon in Oct by June was 10' by 10'. Planted on block wall with a south face. Gulf butterfly loves plant. Blooms better than Lady Lavender Passion vine and in June covered in blossoms. Plant is mixed in with snap dragons so it gets extra water 1 gallon/day in summer.

Growing this in UK, very rampant indeed, needs pruning regularly. A great addition to a tropical garden. I live in zone 9a so it is evergreen year round but in zones 8 and below it tends to be deciduous.

An unbelievable tetraploid developed by Roland Fischer in Germany in 2001. The same vigor and hardiness as the standard Blue Crown Passionflower, but with blooms twice the size! The blooms have darker color in the center.
