        Follow the links next to the photo Sal - I'm led to believe that the photographer sells seed for it.

        Hi, can you get the white lightening from garden centres or do you have to order them? I have never tried passion flowers before but would like to try on.However I would like the hardy ones because space is at a premium in winter in the conservatory.:goodpost:

            Do NOT follow this link unless you are prepared to spend all your savings on Passion Flower plants :)

              I`m not a great fun myself , but recently I`ve been in touch with few collector from Italy , over there is really a big deal as many peoples have managed to create a unique hybrid and give them name .
