Passiflora ID

20 years ago

I need help IDing these Passiflora. I bought them at a local nursary, and they were just Ided as Purple Passion Flower. However the one is red. I happen to think it is Lady Margaret (from online comparisson), but am not sure. The other has yet to bloom (though it is growing well). It was labeled a red passiflora, perhaps this is the purple one.

This is the lady margaret??

And another...

This is the one I don't know what it is, but am sure it is not double of the first...

Thanks for any help.

Erin, that is indeed a Lady Margaret. Gorgeous flowers. The other, from the looks of the leaves, is most likely vitifolia. But I wouldn't say for sure until it blooms.

That looks exactly like my Lady Margaret. I have quite a few passiflora vines whose tags were blown off during a storm. Now I'm waiting for blooms so I can ID them. Are the leaves of the one you think is purple multi lobed? A common purple variety is Lavender Lady.

The flowers and leaves of the first I would say you are right in the identification as Lady Margaret. As for the second I think jblaschke's ID is close, but it's probably coccinea. Vitifolia and coccinea look very similar, but vitifolia leaves are usually lobed whereas the leaves of coccinea are whole. Also, coccinea is a parent of Lady Margaret. Nice pictures though, thanks!
