Passiflora
sanguinolenta ~ Blood Red Passion Vine |
| Passiflora sanguinolenta
is a small passion vine, even at that it is capable of covering a fair
amount of fence. This cultivar has 1.5 inch pink blossoms rather
than the red of the native species. Passiflora sanguinolenta is
native to the mountains of Equador. The pink passion vine is hardy
with temperatures into the mid-twenties which will allow Passiflora
sanguinolenta to flourish where many other Passion vines fail. Passiflora
caerulea is even more hardy. Passiflora sanguinolenta
blooms from Spring through Fall. Passion vines have interesting methods
of spreading pollen. And intriguing egg
mimic appendages to fool butterflies that wish to deposit their eggs.
