Product description
Passiflora Silly Cow is a semi-evergreen climbing plant that bears an abundance of colours throughout a range of features. The white petals are the base element, with a circular, wirey segment above, which is filled with burgundy, white and deep purple colours. Above that, this climber has a purple and green, propeller-like attribute that hammers home that extraordinary, unique look. Plant this Passiflora in moist, well-drained soil and ensure it is exposed to full sun when possible. Watering them consistently during their growing season is best and, in Winter, less is required due to the drop in temperatures.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Passiflora vines benefit from regular pruning to control growth and promote stronger blooming.
How to Water
Water Passiflora regularly, ensuring the soil is kept moist but not soggy. Avoid overwatering, as this can cause root rot. Water more frequently during hot weather, but let the soil dry slightly between waterings.
How to Plant
Plant Passiflora in well-draining soil with plenty of sunlight. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball and place the plant at soil level. Space plants 90-120cm apart to allow for growth, and provide a trellis or support for the vines to climb.
