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 was 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 information about Passiflora 'Coral Sea' displayed on this page is based on research conducted in our nursery library and from online sources we consider reliable. We will also relate those observations made of this plant as it grows in our nursery gardens and in other gardens that we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments we receive from others and welcome hearing from anyone who has additional information, particularly when they share cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
