Passiflora Purple Haze, commonly known as Passion Flower, gives you an easy way to add a burst of colour in and around the garden. Its dark green leaves accompany a display of colourful white flowers with purple frills. The flowering period occurs in Summer, with deep red centres and a yellow-green, propeller-shaped feature sitting directly above that. This semi-evergreen provides further interest later in the year through orange-yellow fruit that can grow between September and October. Its fruits are edible when ripe, but not particularly palatable. Lavender Lady (as it is also commonly known) is a fantastic climber, allowing you to cover up any plain or unsightly walls on show. As well as this, it is also a great form of groundcover, or for placing in borders, pots and containers. Place it in a sunny or partially shaded area of the garden, in a moist, well-drained soil. You will only need to water it when the soil is dry to touch.
