Cultivation advice Passion Flower – (Passiflora Caerulea)
- Can be sown early indoors from Feb,
- Sow in well drained seed compost with added drainage added and barely cover the seed.
- Requires a minimum temp of 68 F, preferable 75 F. Germination may be erratic, and seeds may germinate up to 3 weeks apart, therefore prick out seeds as they appear and grow on.
- Gradually harden seedling off after all danger of frost has passed. If possible, the first season is best in a container in order they can be brought under cool glass for the winter, planting out to the final growing position in a sheltered sunny location the following season.
