Passiflora phoenicea

Every bit as spectacular as quadrangularis, with intense purple, red and deep violet flowers, which are very fragrant. Passiflora phoenicea is a bit less vigorous and coarse, and can be grown in a restricted space. Provided it has good light, rich compost and a min. of 42deg.F, it will produce a stunning display of enormous flowers in the autumn.

Passiflora racemosa

Passiflora racemosa has long racemes of 4” scarlet flowers. Requires reasonable light and a min. of 50deg.F., but given another 10 or 15 deg., it will be almost continuously in flower. The unopened buds are like fat, five angled asparagus pea pods, the same colour as the flowers.

Philesia magellanica

Philesia magellanica is a small, low growing shrub, and is closely related to Lapageria rosea. It has very similar deep rose, waxy flowers. It is reasonably hardy, and is best in a sheltered site in semi- shade, growing in peaty soil.

Reinwardtia indica

Reinwardtia indica deserves to be grown much more widely, giving a wonderful display of fragrant, 2½” bright yellow flowers from Sept. into the new year. Best grown in a pot, and taken outside for the summer to avoid attack from red spider mite. It can sometimes survive outside in a well sheltered spot, but will have a shortened flowering season.

Scadoxus katherinae

Moved from the genus Haemanthus because it has a rhizome, Scadoxus katherinae has lush foliage surmounted by a rose scarlet flower head, about 7” across. Best in a min. of 45Deg.F.
