I would love one I have some stuff to trade outside and inside if you want message me and I'll let you know exactly what I have thanks.

Hi Randy!

I have P. 'Sunburst' that I can either root or send unrooted cutting to you. I do not have a rooted cutting at the moment but I can get one started. Which ever you prefer!

Sincerely,
Vanessa

Hi Vanessa,

That would be great!

What a coincidence--you posted here 5 minutes before I sent you an email I had been writing on my other account.

Randy

Vanessa,

You were of course already getting this hybrid, but not one of these three..

Randy

A picture of mine that took over 3 small crepe myrtles. They have beautiful blooms, but tend to take over everything. they come up from seeds everywhere including the yard. This one came up from a seed from my neighbors yard. I live south of Houston. Thanks, Jeannie :)

Can I assume that's Passiflora incarnata, also known as "Maypop"?

Your photo looks completely different, and like the native Passiflora species. That is, of course, and entirely different plant, with different characteristics.

There are hundreds of different Passiflora species, and thousands of hybrids.

I just wanted to emphasize that there is not just one type of "Passiflora" with different colored/sized/shaped flowers. They do not have the same habit, size or grow in the same conditions, which is why I was careful to give the temperature and sun requirements for this hybrid. Some only grow under very limited climates. This is a relatively easy one, and would be a good one to try for those who never have grown any Passiflora.

For example, both parents of this hybrid are Brazilian species. Beyond that, they are pretty different.

P. caerulea (the common "Blue Crown" Passionflower):

Hardy to about zone 7
Spreads underground
Tolerant of full sun in most/all areas

P. loefgrenii

Hardy to zone 9/10 (I've heard both)
Doesn't spread underground
Grows in shade in areas with heat (Florida)

Most people are familiar with P. caerulea, the common blue Passionflower. Here's P. loefgrenii:

Here is a link that might be useful: A good online site for Passionflower's--Myles Irvine's in the UK

raylynn2, I responded to you by email a day ago and have not heard back.

At this point all three of the rooted cuttings are still available. And again, I'm trading for postage.

I still have the plants, for postage. I thought I would add another couple photos--closeups of the flowers.

This is a great hybrid, which is why Annie's Annuals, Brushwood Nursery, and the SF Botanical Garden (where the hybrid was created) all sell it. It is a recent hybrid.

I photographed the flowers at Annie's Annuals:

In case you are wondering why it doesn't have a "name", I don't think is due to the fact that the hybrid is new. I believe it's because there are related hybrids made in Europe, and Passiflora Society rules prevent one from registering a second, similar hybrid under a new name. Passiflora 'Betty Myles Young' is one of the simlar hybrids that comes to mind.

15 to 18 degrees, eh? That means it *might* survive my Tennessee winters---and it's LOVELY!

Last winter, my P. caerulea never even died back to the ground---but last winter was unusually mild.

Hi Judith,

It's easy to root, so you can always save some cuttings inside just in case.

Possibly I have other things you are interested in--I'll contact you.

Randy

@mark4321_gw Well, this thread is really old and I am hoping someone's still here :) Does anyone have good tasting fruiting varieties of banana passion fruits? Would love some seeds/cuttings. I live in the bay area.
