Products > Passiflora 'Coral Sea'   Passiflora 'Coral Sea' - Passion Vine    [2nd Image] Habit and Cultural Information Category: Vine Family: Passifloraceae (Passion-flowers) Origin: Brazil (South America) Evergreen: Yes Flower Color: Coral Bloomtime: Spring/Fall Parentage: (P. manicata hybrid) Height: Climbing (Vine) Width: Spreading Exposure: Full Sun Irrigation (H2O Info): Medium Water Needs Winter Hardiness: 25-30° F Passiflora 'Coral Sea' (Passion Vine) - A vigorous vine with a long blooming period with coral pink petals with purple filaments in the spring through fall. The lush medium green leaves have broad lobes. Will grow in shaded locations but needs full sun to bloom well. A great Passion Vine for coastal gardens but will not stand inland heat. This hybrid of manicata created by Patrick Worley and we have grown this plant since 1983. It is similar to his cross 'Coral Glow' which reportedly tolerates more heat. Hardy to around 26° F - best with some overhead protection.  The description above is based on our research and observations of this plant growing in our nursery and in our own and other Santa Barbara gardens. We would appreciate hearing from anyone who has additional information or disagrees with what we have written.     [MORE INFO]
