About Passion Flower (Pink)
Passiflora vitifolia, known as Passion Flower or Krishna Kamal, is a perennial semi-evergreen flowering vine from the Passifloraceae family, with grape-shaped three-lobed leaves and stunning, fragrant bright pink flowers. In Hindu tradition its intricate flower structure is linked to figures from the Mahabharata, which is how it earned the name Krishna Kamal.
Growing Conditions
- Sunlight: More than 3 hours of direct sunlight daily; also tolerates partial shade.
- Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic content.
- Water: Water when the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry.
Planting & Placement
As a climber, this vine needs a trellis, chain-link fence, or arbor to grow over - it can be grown in a large pot, but does better planted directly in the ground for vigorous growth.
Care
- Fertilizer: Organic fertilizer once a month; a phosphorus-based feed supports more vigorous flowering.
- Pruning: Regular light pruning maintains shape and can keep it bushier in a pot.
Flowering
Blooms for about 8 months of the year, sometimes year-round depending on climate, with fragrant bright pink flowers.
This variety is grown mainly for its ornamental flowers. If fruit forms, only fully ripe fruit pulp should ever be eaten - unripe passionfruit and the leaves of many Passiflora species contain natural cyanogenic compounds and shouldn't be consumed. This listing ships a young nursery plant. Growth and bloom timing vary by climate, care, and region - we don't promise a fixed timeline.
