Passion flower, Passiflora caerulea, is an exotic-looking climber, bearing evergreen, deeply lobed, dark green glossy leaves, from which large white flowers with central filaments of purple, blue and white appear from July to September, followed by egg-shaped, orange-yellow fruit.
Passiflora 'Amethyst' has purple flowers with purple filaments and green anthers. Vigorous and trouble-free, it will quickly cover a sunny wall or fence, and tolerates a bit of shade.
For best results grow Passiflora 'Amethyst' in moist but well-drained soil against a sheltered wall in full sun. Prune back in early spring if necessary. It may need winter protection in northern regions.
