Passiflora 'Poppet' is a very complex triploid 4 species cross of (P. 'Constance Eliott' x P. eichleriana) x ((P. caerulea wild brasil x P. amethystina long peduncle) x P. loefgrenii 'Corupa'). It can come through quite a hard winter outside but will struggle to regrow so is better overwintered in a greenhouse or conservatory. If you don't have access to greenhouses or conservatories, indoors will suffice with the correct care.

Named in August 2008 in honour of my dear friend Linda 'Poppet' Grover, above.

With the correct care and following the instruction from above, these flowers look so beautiful next to your rattan garden furniture, but personally I believe this flower makes anything around it look more beautiful.
