Bower Vine 1 litre pots  ■☻

A lovely delicate climber for conservatory or patio use with jasmine like growth and pink flowers. Needs plenty of sun for production of flowers. Try growing them in a pot with three canes positioned in a tripod with the top tied together. The plant can then climb within the frame giving protection as well as an attractive style to portray the vine.

Purple Granadilla 1 litre plants ■☻
My all time favourite passion flower with large leaves and huge purple flowers with a very heavy scent that just has to be appreciated with your own nose. I have never managed to get any of my plants to set fruit (the giant granadilla which is said to be delicious) but who cares, the flowers are magnificent. Really only suitable for the conservatory but beware, when looked after it will become very rampant! We also have some Passiflora Alata plants for sale - similar flower (please enquire)

Petrea volubilis

Sandpaper Vine  1 litre plants  ■☻
An unusual attractive vine from Mexico. It is sometimes called Sandpaper Vine because of the Sandpaper textured leaves or the Purple Wreath, or Blue Bird Vine. It is hardy down to 5°C but not much colder. It will take heavy drought and blooms in the late summer with long lasting foot long tresses of purple flowers.  Good conservatory semi climber or lax shrub.
