Passion flower

Passion-flower (Passiflora) - The hardy blue Passion-flower, P. caerulea, from its beauty and distinctness deserves to be grown wherever the climate permits. It is not so suitable for arbours or trellises as for walls; the heat from the walls aids in ripening the wood, and so enables it to withstand the winter. A southern aspect is best for it, though it grows against west or east walls, only requiring a good soil, and, perhaps, a slight protection during winter. In places where it fruits freely the bright orange color continued far into autumn is an added merit. To ensure fruiting, several plants should be planted not far from one another. The white variety, Constance Elliot, is as hardy as the older kind. No-other variety of P. caerulea is so distinct, and no other Passion-flower is hardy enough for outdoor walls.
