Cultivation Details
Passiflora ncarnata is probably the most cold-tolerant species in the genus and is known to survive temperatures down to about -20°c when growing in a well-drained soil. Top growth is more sensitive and is generally killed back to ground level in cold winters, though the plant generally puts out new shoots in the spring.[
