Passiflora sanguinolenta (Pink Passion Vine) - A moderately vigorous passion vine with interesting 2-3" wide leaves that have two large, wing-like lobes and are often mottled when new. Upright growing dark coral-pink buds, looking like candles nestled in the foliage open to expose the delicate 1 1/2 inch wide reflexed coral-pink flowers from spring to fall with a mid summer peak. A beautiful vine for smaller gardens. Plant in full coastal sun to light shade. Hardy to at least the mid 20s F. The name sanguinolenta refers to some forms of this species that are "blood red". This species originated in the mountains of Ecuador (6,500 -8,500 feet). This plant from Suncrest may be the same as a Patrick Worley selection they now call 'Maria Rosa'
