Subgenus: Passiflora, Supersection: Stipulata, Section: Kermesinae. Only recently has this highly-sought plant been brought back into cultivation and it is still very rare to find for sale. The parent of a number of hybrids created in the 1800s, it was lost for many years to horticulture. It is delightful to be able to offer this beautiful plant on my website. The flowers are bright pink/purple with purple filaments and quite large (about 4"). Free flowering with a minimum temp of 45 degrees F. Photo courtesy of Maurizio Vecchia.
