Description
Passiflora Damsel's Delight, Riverside Hybrid Passion Flower Plants
Bigger flowers than the species, with the classic mostly white outer ring and purple filaments. It seems that because the plant puts more energy into flower production, it often doesn't form fruit. The leaves are large, glossy and lobed, similar to a small fig leaf.
This vigorous climber will generally be evergreen in the South, and will lose its leaves in the North: it depends on the winter and the microclimate. To 3-4 metres.

They require a fairly sturdy support, and their tendrils will attach themselves. Use a stick or cane to train the vine onto the support if necessary.
