Passiflora Caerulea ‘Rubra’

The exotic-looking flowers of this unusual passion flower can grow up to 10cm across, and each is made up of a circle of slender tepals (petals), a showy ruff of purple and white fillaments and a central greenish yellow stalk. Still quite rare in the UK, they can be grown in a sunny, sheltered spot, where even when not in bloom, the rich green foliage will provide cover.
