Passiflora × exoniensis, the Exeter passion flower, is a hybrid of garden origin between two species of flowering plants, Passiflora antioquiensis × Passiflora tripartita var. mollissima in the family Passifloraceae. It was hybridised in the Veitch Nurseries in Exeter, Devon, England, in the 1870s.[2] The name Passiflora × exoniensis has yet to be resolved as a correct scientific name;[1] nevertheless it is widely found in the horticultural literature.
It is a robust evergreenclimber growing to at least 6 m (20 ft) with three-lobed leaves and pendent deep pink tubular flowers followed by egg-shaped yellow fruits. It is hardy down to about −1 °C (30 °F) so may be grown outdoors with shelter in mild temperate areas; alternatively under glass, for instance in an unheated greenhouse.
