Blue Passion Flower is a vigorous, tendril growing to 10 m (33 ft) or more, with blue-white flowers with a prominent fringe of coronal filaments in bands of blue, white, and brown.
This popular and showy plant has attracted a number of common names. In Paraguay it is widely known as mburucuy? in Guaran??. Other names include blue crown, flower of five wounds, southern beauty, wild apricot, Jesus flower.
Passiflora caerulea is a woody capable of growing to 15-20 m (50 to 65 ft) high where supporting trees are available. The leaves are alternate, palmately five-lobed like a spread hand (sometimes three or seven lobes). The base of each leaf has a tendril which twines around supporting vegetation to hold the plant up.
The flower is large, about 10 cm (4 in) in diameter, with the five sepals and petals similar in appearance, whitish in color, surmounted by a corona of blue or violet filaments, then five greenish-yellow stamens and three purple stigmas. In tropical climates, it will flower all year round. The ovoid orange fruit, growing to 6 cm (2 in), is edible but bland.

Soak seeds in water for 12-24 hours before planting. Place seeds just below the soil surface, and instead of using water, use orange juice to moisten the soil. The acidity of the juice will help soften the outer layer of the seeds and aid germination. Place the container is a warm location 25C (77F). A heat mat is beneficial. Germination can occur within 2 weeks to several months. Patience may be needed, though they are well worth the effort! Once seedlings sprout place the pot in a sunny location.

Here's What Some Of Our Customers Had To Say (Thank you!)
Ferri Seeds is truly a wonderful company. They take the utmost care when delivering your seeds. Mine arrived promptly and when I had any questions, they were so happy to help me. I am looking forward to getting more from them soon. Thank you David for making this a delightful experience.
I got these pretty quickly and in perfect order. I can't wait to see what they look like once I plant them. I have another colour and they were so pretty I had to try these. I have used this seller a few times now with great success, and will again. Everything I have ordered has been of good quality!
I was impressed with Ferriseed’s selection of seeds. Ordering was a breeze and the seeds arrived in a perfect little padded envelope in 9 days. I am very happy and will order from here again. Many thanks.
Never grew coleus from seed, and it was surprisingly easy. They germinated quickly on my heat mat and grow lights. Can't wait to see them in the garden!
We placed our order on Thursday and received it on Monday. Here in Canada the tracking link is accurate. Ferri seeds tells you when they're shipping and when your order is delivered, the seeds arriving in excellent condition. We will definitely be ordering again this spring. Keep up the good work!
Great product ! All seeds germinated and flourished nicely.
My order, made late afternoon, April 27th, and needed in a bit of a rush, was mailed next morning and arrived in my rural mailbox in BC, May 5th.

Fantastically seedlings. They were well packaged. I planted them right away and they’re growing nicely so far.
Fast service, amazing communication!
I happened across Ferri Seeds website when I Googled a particular plant I’d been looking for. I was impressed by their selection of all types of seeds and their good product descriptions along with detailed germination instructions. I found the site and ordered on a Saturday. On Sunday I got a notice that my order had been shipped! The seeds were in my P.O. box on Friday. Such amazing service. It’s too early to comment on germination rates — I’ve just started the stratification process today.
