I am Roxana Ichim, from Bucharest, Romania, and I love passifloras. This is the main reason I`m here.
I have beel looking everywhere to buy some o these beautiful plants, but it is strangely hard, allthough the advertising is fanrastic. At a first glance, nothing could be easier, but I am very dissapointed in the replies from different nurseries, so I hope some of you might help. So, has anyone IN EUROPE passiflora - any other than cerulea, flavicarpa and edulis - for sale? I mean live plants, not seeds. I don`t have much hope with this site, but I am trying. Who knows... |

Welcome to the site! I hope you enjoy it here. As far as passiflora goes, you can buy a lot of different types of seeds online. That will be the easiest way to go. Plants are much easier to grow and require less time input, but passiflora plant stock seems kinda difficult to find in my experience. Here's a website that might be able to help you out in the spring (they're closed till April now). Hope that helps!

Welcome, Roxana. I can't help you with live material, but I can send you seed for P. mixta (Taxo) and P. ligularis (Granadilla) if you'd like. They are actually very easy to start from seeds, and if you begin the process indoors over the winter you will have plants ready for the garden in the spring.
Sunfish has a much more extensive collection than I do, though - I focus more on edible varieties, and he's got a number of the more obscure ornamentals. |

Hello and welcome! I'm new at this site, too, but I've seen photos here of Passifloras. If I was gonna grow flowers, that'd be my first choice!

THANK YOU ALL FOR THE ANSWERS.
I found some live plants in a nursery in Britain, they are sure expensive but I don`t mind. And I keep trying. |

Welcome! Glad you found what your looking for. Sometimes you have to pay the price for something you love. I think passifloras are really interesting plants, and their flowers are no short of "unique" not to mention beautiful.
Here in the states stores sell them on occasion, I usually see them here in the begining of the summer, so maybe thats the best time to look for them. I myself would love growing this plant, and maybe it will be an addition for next summer (I already have white mandevilla seeds and papayas which are already spouting, as well as the 80 something plants I brought inside from the summer, some are still outside like my elephant ears, bananas, cannas, hibsicus and plumerias.) Good luck ![]() |
