Passiflora loefgrenii × caerulea

Passiflora loefgrenii × caerulea is a cultivated passionflower hybrid grown for its showy flowers. The vine climbs with coiling tendrils and benefits from a sturdy support. Its flowers combine lavender-purple segments with a dense banded corona and a raised central reproductive column, reflecting traits associated with both parent species. It is suited to warm ornamental plantings. Photographed in Florida.
