Discription:
The winged passion flower is named after its quadrangular, winged stems. In terms of flowering, the species resembles a little brother of the giant passion flower (P. quadrangularis), as the special flowers are a fraction smaller and otherwise very similar. The plant also remains a lot smaller than the giant passion flower and is therefore better suited for the living room, conservatory or greenhouse. The first bloom follows after only 2-3 years, followed by oval, bright orange and very tasty fruits.
