When the first tendrils of the passionflower start winding their way up the trellis in the spring, every gardener knows they’re in for a real treat. There’s a reason the *Passiflora* is such a fan favorite—it’s all about those massive, vibrant, and totally unique blooms that look like something straight out of a tropical dream.
Flowers all summer long
If you’re looking for a plant that works overtime, the passionflower is it. This classic climbing plant usually kicks off its show in May or June and keeps those stunning flowers coming right through September.
A constant cycle of blooms
You might wonder how it stays so colorful for so long. The secret is in the plant’s “more is more” philosophy. On most varieties, an individual flower actually only lasts about a day or two. But don’t worry—the plant is constantly pumping out fresh buds, so as soon as one fades, a new one is ready to take its place!
