Spring Planted Bulbs
PASSIFLORA Size: 3½ inch pots “Passionflowers” P. incarnata var. Maypop #SPA13 The hardiest pas- sionflower, native to the Eastern U.S. These vines are treasured for their
complex flowers and lacy, deeply divided rich green foliage. Abundant large, showy flowers of white and lavender are produced all sum- mer. Flowers are followed by egg-size edible yellow fruit. Although the vines freeze to the ground each winter, the plants are root hardy to -20˚F and will regrow, flower and fruit the following season. Called ‘Maypop’ because it pops out of the ground each May (sometimes June).
