Very rare passionflower that is a robust grower with extremely unusual-looking flowers in striking colours. Flowers from spring to midsummer. Will climb and must be controlled (not to be grown near native planting areas where it will take over and out compete native species and escape out into the ecosystem).

Leaves are green uppersides and a dusky purple underneath. Leaf curls slightly showing both sides of the leaf in a really nice beautiful contrast.

Loves sun. Similar cultivation requirements to most other passions grown commonly.

The unusual flower color combinations and striking foliage makes this a real eye-catcher! It is also a very large and vigorous vine which does an excellent job of covering a fence.
