Lellie, being in zone 9 in Florida means that you can take your pick of most passis. The heat you have during the summer rules out most of the Tasconias (high mountain species), but I can't think of many others. Natives are always a good place to start--p. incarta, p. lutea, p. foetida and p. pallens are all native to Florida (or at least certain varieties of them are). Other passiflora species, such as p. caerulea, p. edulis, p. quadrangularis, p. actinia and p. alata will grow very happily for you. The hybrids Incense, Lady Margaret and Amethyst will do very well for you. You have a lot of options.

I've heard on occasion that some passis don't have a high salt tolerance, but this doesn't seem to be a major issue and I'm not certain which species those may be at any rate.

Probably the best thing for you to do is head over to the library or bookstore (whichever you prefer) and get copies of John Vanderplank's "Passion Flowers" and Torsten Ulmenr & John MacDougal's "Passiflora: Passion Flowers of the World." Those books are invaluable references and contain a great amount of useful information. I believe the latter is currently available via Amazon for $15 or so in hardback.

I've got a bunch of incarnata seed on hand currently. If you're interested, I'll send you some for a SASE. Let me know.

Gee...thanks!
I'm really excited...we bought this house a year and a half ago and everything that's planted is simply GREEN!
No color what-so-ever...but then again, I reckon it's like having a blank canvas...and I can't wait to start painting...LOL

Would love to have some Incarnata seeds...check your email, please.
Thanks!
