Notes
'Alba' passionflower (Passiflora incarnata 'Alba') is a vine for pollinator gardens, privacy screens, and borders. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer tend to pass it by. White flowers open in spring, summer, and early autumn. This fast climber draws butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds.
Pairs well with New England aster, Indian grass, and Black-eyed Susan.
