Passiflora 'Eynsford Gem'. Pyramid.
The Passiflora 'Eynsford Gem' is a fast growing semi-evergreen climber with the most beautiful exotic flowers produced in succession throughout the summer. Scented flowers are around 8cm across with pink mauve petals and a centre crown that contains numerous white and purple coronal filaments, 5 greenish-yellow stamens and 3 purple stigmas.
Pretty dark green glossy leaves are palmately lobed with 5-7 fingers and pale green tendrils. Fruits are egg shaped, green in colour and are edible but a little bland in taste. This showy climber is great for covering walls and trellises in courtyards and city gardens as well as making great container plants for patios, conservatories and greenhouses. Cold hardy, but in freezes it may die back to the ground but will regrow from the roots in spring(will need mulching).
