Additional Product Info

Do red passion flowers need to be pruned?

Passion flowers don't need regular pruning, but they can be pruned to maintain size or to remove long shoots. Red passion flowers bloom on new growth, not old, so you can prune in winter or early spring.

What does new growth versus old growth mean?

Some plants bloom on old wood, meaning that they need growth from the summer or fall to bloom the next year. Red passion flower blooms on new wood, it only needs the growth from the current season to bloom.

How much sun do red passion flowers need?

Red passion flowers can handle full sun or partial shade. They tend to perform best in locations that receive sun in the morning and shade in the afternoon, or that receive dappled sun through the leaves of a tree or taller plant.

What type of soil is best for red passion flowers?

Passion flowers, like many tropical plants, prefer rich soil that drains well. If your soil is heavy in clay or sand, add compost or loam to enrich the soil. Passion flowers are tolerant of a wide range of soil acidities, and can handle either alkaline or acidic soil.

How often should you water red passion flowers?

Passion flowers prefer soil that's moist but not soggy. They typically need 1 or 1.5 inches of water each week, so water your passion flowers twice per week when your garden doesn't receive rain.

Do you need to fertilize red passion flowers?

Monthly use of a 10-5-20 fertilizer can encourage better blooms, but too much fertilizer can burn the blooms or fruit of the passion plant. You can also try a fertilizer with a lower ratio, like an NPK ratio of 7-5-7, these can provide some of the benefits with less risk.
