This Brazilian originated red passiflora is known for quite a long time and can also be found in many collections. It is a bit of a special appearance in the world of passiflora, because in contrast to almost all passiflora's it doesn’t flourish on young branches but does this on two year old branches. Groups of 8-12 buds will grow out of its stems, which you might understand is a magnificent sight when several of those are flourishing at the same time. The photograph gives a good picture of this. This species is perhaps not really tropical but loves nevertheless warmth, a conservatory or a glasshouse will be very suited to breed it. Can grow out to quite a large plant because you have to be careful with cutting it back (don’t cut back branches older as two year).
