Butterfly Garden

Passion Vine / Jasmine

13 years ago

Morning all....question....we have a jasmine hedge that is of the night blooming variety (I think - photo attached). Any idea whether it would be good or bad to introduce passion vine into the hedge in a few places? Never done this before but I thought it could be cool to add it in a few spots to have the vine mixed into the hedge. Let me know good idea or bad idea. Thanks so much!!!!

passion vine spreads like crazy. It can pop up a few feet from where you plant it. Mine is on a trellis, and I find it feet away in the grass.

If you plant any Passiflora in a hedge, choose P. suberosa, a Florida native with small stature and big taste. Works especially well with Jasmine Simp or Cherry Hedge, as you'll never see it. Also attracts the Julia Butterfly.
Check out also the Day blooming Jessimine (Cestrum diurnum). Great source of nectar for the male butterflies. The nectar has an alkaloid which the males use in their sex pharimones. It is one of the "Stag Trees" in South and Central Florida.
