{"product_id":"passion-flower-10-bag-red","title":"Passion Flower Red - 10\" Grow bag","description":"\u003cp\u003ePassion Flower (Passiflora caerulea) is a striking tendril climber grown for its complex, exotic flowers: white petals topped with a crown of blue-and-purple filaments around a prominent central structure. Native to South America, it grows well in warmer parts of India on trellises, fences and arches, climbing readily with its curling tendrils and lobed green leaves. It flowers through the warm season and may set edible (though bland) orange fruits. Tolerant and vigorous, it prefers full sun to light shade with well-drained soil. A favourite for pollinators and a host plant for some butterflies, it benefits from pruning to control its enthusiastic growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFamily\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePassifloraceae\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eNative region\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSouth America\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMature height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4-8 m as a climber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMature spread\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2-4 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eGrowth rate\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFast\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFoliage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDeeply lobed, green leaves\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFlower colour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite with blue-purple corona\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFlower season\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarm season\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eClimate zone\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSubtropical to tropical (cooler hills)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSunlight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull sun to light shade.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWatering\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModerate;

container plants need more frequent watering in summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow much sun does it need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt flowers best in full sun to light shade with at least 5-6 hours of direct light, though some afternoon shade helps in very hot areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs it safe for pets and children?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe unripe fruit and foliage are mildly toxic, so keep pets and children from eating green fruit or leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen and how do I repot it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRepot every 1-2 years in spring into a larger pot, or plant it in the ground for stronger, more vigorous growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do I propagate it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePropagate from semi-hardwood cuttings, layering, or seed;
