Description
The Passiflora vitifolia is a botanical variety endemic to the tropical forests of Brazil. This beautiful, vigorous climber breathes exoticism with its large bright red-orange flowers with elongated and pointed petals, topped with a short collar of purple filaments and yellow and red stamens. This species forms a compact plant, averaging 2 to 3 metres (7 to 10 feet) in height, which flowers from late spring to early autumn. It can be grown in a pot on the patio or a conservatory and should be brought indoors when temperatures drop below -2°C (28.4°F).
Mostly originating from tropical zones in South America, passionflowers belong to the large family of Passifloraceae, which includes 400 species and numerous spontaneous or horticultural hybrids.
The Passiflora vitifolia is a species native to the tropical forests of Brazil. This exotic voluble plant clings to its support with tendrils, reaching an average height of 2 to 3 metres (7 to 10 feet). Its long stems are adorned with shiny trilobed leaves, more or less evergreen, of medium green colour and velvety underside. Its flowering extends from July to early autumn in the form of large flowers that constantly renew themselves on the plant. Its fragrant flowers are formed by bright red tepals and petals. These are topped with a short crown of purple filaments and yellow and red stamens.
This Passion Flower is not a capricious and difficult plant to grow like some orchids. It grows easily in any well-drained, light, fairly deep, and not too-dry soil in summer and flowers generously in the sun in a sheltered location. At the end of flowering, pruning consists of reducing the branches to maintain a beautiful habit. It thrives in milder climates. With its compact habit, Passiflora vitifolia will be highly appreciated in conservatories or greenhouses, where it will withstand cold winters without damage.

Planting and care
The passionflower is a plant that loves the sun and heat. For best growth, it should be planted in well-drained soil that is deep and well-worked. Keep the soil moist during summer and avoid over-watering during winter. It is sensitive to cold, so make sure to plant it in a sheltered location that is protected from drying winds. Use a support to hold the weight of the plant's vegetation and direct its branches well on the support as they tend to grow vigorously. It is recommended to prune the plant before winter to maintain a reasonable size. You can cut back the main branches to facilitate growth. In early spring, remove any dead branches near the stump. Be aware of scale insects, whiteflies, and the cucumber mosaic virus, and treat preventively.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
