Plant Of The Week

(HIT) - Passion flowers are wonderful climbing vines that feature large blossoms in bright tropical colors. Passiflora triloba is a rare find among passion flowers because its blooms are very different from other varieties. The blooms are four inches across and pendulate from the heavy vine sporting burgundy petals and rows of purple- and white-striped filaments that hang down from the flower. Passiflora triloba is a fast-growing vine that needs lots of room. Give it a trellis or another form of support—then stand back and enjoy the show! One plant in a 2.5-inch pot sells for $14.95 from Logee’s, 1-888-330-8038 or www.logees.com.
