Passiflora vitifolia 'Scarlet Flame' (Red Granadilla) - Leaves are three-lobed to the middle of the leaf and are up to 6 inches long. The petals are a reddish orange and the inner filaments are a bright red. Flowers bloom in spring through summer. Full sun, regular watering. We received this plant as Passiflora coccinea but it was determined that it was really Passiflora vitifolia and for many years we sold it under this name. Recently we were told that this hardier larger flowering plant is a hybrid between Passiflora vitifolia and P. coccinea that was developed by Patrick Worley for the Southern California area. He named it 'Scarlet Flame'.
