Growing Red Passionflower

Plant it in full sun. It prefers moderate water. It is hardy in USDA zones 10–11. Expect it to reach about 13 ft tall and 4.9 ft wide at maturity, in roughly 3 years.

When to plant Red Passionflower

Red Passionflower sits in a nearly frost-free range (zones 10 to 11): plant it in the cool season, fall through late winter, and let the mild months settle its roots. On the calendar that means October or November, or January or February. Once settled, it blooms from July to September.

Month-by-month timing for your zone is on the planting calendar: for the middle of its range, start with zone 10 in January.
