Purple Passion Flower
Passiflora 'Damsel's Delight'
- A riot of free flowering, flamboyant lavender and purply white blooms
- These unmistakable bowl shaped flowers consist of lilac white petals and sepals, and a collar of purple, white and dark plum coloured radial filaments
- The lobed foliage provides a great visual contrast to the intricate, expansive flowers
- Everything about this plant is big, from its flowers to its overall size - it grows to a height of up to 12m
- With a robust and energetic climbing habit, 'Damsel's Delight' is a perfect choice to train up a wall, fence or trellis
- This passion flower will boost your garden's pollinator power, attracting bees and other beneficial insects
- Please Note: Our climbers are pruned back each winter, and some during the summer, so you may find at certain times of year they do not cover the whole 90cm cane. This is intentional to ensure the best growth when you plant out
- Please note: this page includes selected AI-assisted imagery for illustrative purposes.
