• About passiflora

  An evergreen climber whose purple, white and green flowers come into bloom between mid-summer and early autumn.

  Although Betty's intricate, exotic flowers may otherwise suggest, she is actually an incredibly easy plant to look after and is the perfect climber to jazz up your garden.

  Betty will need support to help her grow up and across. Whether it's up a wall or along a balcony railing - she isn't fussed.
