Notes
'Constance Eliott' blue passion flower (Passiflora caerulea 'Constance Eliott') is a vine for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and privacy screens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. It climbs fast and stays evergreen. Fragrant blooms open in early to late summer and again in autumn, and they draw butterflies and bees.
Pairs well with Jackmanii clematis, Munstead lavender, and Karl Foerster feather reed grass.
