Passiflora sanguinolenta can grow to 13 feet in length in temperate zones. Try it with confidence in Zone 9. It is listed in some publications as growing in Zone 7 and Zone 8 but may behave more as a deciduous vine in those zones. It is a pinkish coral flowering vine that is best given support with a trellis or arbor. We list this one as suitable to grow in a container. It prefers well draining soil and moderate water.

Passiflora will attract adult butterflies to feed. If you have this plant, please let us know what butterflies come to feed. Passiflora is a host plant to Gulf Fritillary, (Agraulis vanillae), a butterfly dependent upon garden plants to survive.
