巴西耐寒的大花西番蓮Brazilian Passion Flower Vine (Passiflora caerulea)
Zone 5! They are the ones I really want! In the past, I have only seen the tropical ones (Zone 9) selling in the nurseies and garden centres. This year I decide to grow from seeds. After one month sitting in the freezer and then plant them in the supermarket mushroom container with some soil, I then place whole thing in a clear plastic bag. Daytime put near heat register so it is quite warm, put them in the fridge to keep cool at night before I go to sleep. They are in and out of my fridge for 2 weeks now, I saw the first sprout (the pink one)today!
一般園藝店賣的都不耐寒. 除了秋末要整大盆搬進屋渡過漫長的冬天外就是當一年生的將它賜死,因為植株不便宜所以今年看到這耐寒品系就決定來孵種子了!
冰箱冷凍了一個月後拿出來種在洋菇盒裡的淺土,再用透明塑膠袋紮起來放在溫暖的地方. 睡前再整包冰進冰箱冷藏. 早上再拿出來. 如此2周就可發芽,今天已有一顆有芽了!
雖是園藝觀賞種,但果實依然可食用.–就是不知是否好吃?
My Food And Flowers 
I am amazed they can grow in pots. The ones I have seen here in Australia ramble over fences and take over sheds! Perhaps these are a dwarf variety. I’d love to know how yours grow. 🙂
I am curious too. I will keep posting the updates!
Good luck with them – I have seen them growing outside here in Seattle, WA, USA.
Thanks! I will post an update later.
i love this flower, especially the blue variety. I hope they will grow beautifully 🙂
Thank you! I hope so too! Now the seedlings are about 6 to 7 inches tall.
i bought once one of those plants, but it died… i’m sure you’ll have more luck than me, you seem to have a green thumb, unlike me 🙂
Well, we shall see, hope they will live over winter…it gets pretty cold here!
