Passiflora Lavender Lady, also known as ‘Passion Flower’ and holder of the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit,  is a hybrid passionflower cultivar that is prized for its stunning lavender and white flowers, which bloom from mid-Summer through Autumn. This climbing vine is a vigorous grower and can reach up to 4 metres, making it an ideal choice for covering walls, trellises, and fences.

In addition to its ornamental value, Passiflora Lavender Lady is also a valuable source of nectar for pollinators, including bees and butterflies. The plant produces edible fruit that is often used in desserts and jams.

This plant is relatively easy to grow and maintain. It prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil that is kept moist, but not waterlogged. It benefits from regular watering during periods of drought and requires occasional pruning to keep it under control.  Some protection from very cold, drying winds needed.

Overall, Passiflora Lavender Lady is a beautiful and versatile plant that offers a wide range of ornamental and medicinal benefits. Its unique flowers, fast growth, and ease of care make it an excellent choice for any garden looking to add some interest and colour to its landscape.

How to care for your Passiflora Lavender Lady

  • Planting: Choose a location that receives full sun to partial shade and has well-drained soil. Dig a hole that is slightly larger than the root ball of the plant, and backfill with soil. Water thoroughly after planting.
  • Watering: Prefers moist, but not waterlogged soil. Water deeply once or twice a week during periods of drought, and reduce watering during periods of heavy rain.
  • Fertilising: Apply a balanced fertiliser in the Spring and again in mid-Summer to promote healthy growth and flowering.
  • Pruning: It can grow aggressively and may require occasional pruning to keep it under control. Prune in the late Winter or early Spring before new growth appears, and remove any dead or damaged branches.
  • Trellising: This plant is a climber and benefits from having support such as a trellis, wall, or fence to climb. Make sure the support is sturdy enough to handle the weight of the plant.
  • Winter care: In areas with mild Winters, it can be grown as a perennial. In colder climates, it can be grown as an annual or brought indoors during the Winter months. When grown indoors, make sure to place the plant in a bright and humid location and water it regularly.

By following these simple care tips, you can ensure that your Passiflora Lavender Lady thrives and adds beauty to your outdoor space. With its stunning flowers, fast growth, and ease of care, this plant is an excellent choice for any garden looking to add some interest and colour to its landscape.
