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.
Information displayed on this page about Passiflora 'Coral Sea' is based on the research conducted about it in our library and from reliable online resources. We also note those observations we have made of this plant as it grows in the nursery's garden and in other gardens, as well how crops have performed in our nursery field. We will incorporate comments we receive from others, and welcome to hear from anyone who may have additional information, particularly if they share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
