PASSION FLOWER VINE passiflora caerulea - Native to tropical America, the Pasiflora was taken to Rome in the early 1600s. Papal scholars interpreted the 10 petals to represent the 10 apostles at the crucifixion of Jesus. The filaments represented the crown of thorns, the 5 anthers the wounds and the 3 stigmas, the nails. Growing quickly to 200 cm in a single season, they bloom profusely with an abundance of 8- 10 cm. dark blue and white starlike flowers. Give them a light, sunny site, lots of rich soil and regular feedings of organic fertilizer and they will reward you with a great show. They will also do well inside if given a large container and a warm sunny window. SEED COUNT: Approx. 20 |
