Notes
'Betty Myles Young' passion flower (Passiflora 'Betty Myles Young') is a vine for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. The lightly scented blooms have lilac petals with white streaks and maroon filaments. Plants bloom on new wood, so you can prune hard each spring. It sits low on the menu for deer.
Pairs well with Carolina jessamine, Pineapple sage, and Pomegranate.
