About Passion Flower Purple
Passion Flower Purple (Passiflora incarnata, also called Krishna Kamal or Rakhi Flower) is a perennial semi-evergreen flowering vine known for its intricate, star-shaped purple flower with a fringed corona. In Hindu tradition its distinct parts are linked to figures from the Mahabharata, giving it the name Krishna Kamal.
Growing Conditions
- Sunlight: More than 3 hours of direct sunlight; also grows in semi-shade.
- Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic content; adapts to almost any soil type.
- Climate: Adapts to a wide range of Indian climatic conditions.
Planting & Support
Grows very quickly and needs strong support to climb on - the more support given, the faster it grows. For a lush, bushy look, plant directly in the soil rather than a pot.
Care
- Watering: Water when the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry; maintain moisture near the root zone.
- Fertilizer: Organic fertilizer once a month; phosphorus-based fertilizer for more vigorous flowering.
- Pruning: Regular pruning maintains required shape; it can also be grown as a bushy pot plant.
Flowering
Blooms about 8 months of the year, sometimes throughout the year depending on the local climate, reaching 8-12 metres when well supported.
