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'
The information on this page is based on the research that we have conducted about this plant in the San Marcos Growers library, from what we have found on reliable online sources, as well as from observations made of our crops of this plant growing in the nursery and of plants growing in the nursery's garden and those in other gardens where we may have observed it. We also have incorporated comments received from others and welcome getting feedback from those who may have additional information, particularly if this information includes cultural information that would aid others in growing Passiflora sanguinolenta. |
