I just received a couple of very healthy plants from Zone 9 Tropicals this past week. I have also been very happy with orders from Grassy Knolls. Most passies take 2 years to bloom from seed, but seed prices are usually a fraction of the cost of a plant. They can take months to germinate so don't give up. Also, you really need to have a spot inside or a green house to overwinter most passies. The exception would be P. incarnata and a few others--many/most passies come from the tropics! Another option is over winter your plants as cuttings, but they don't always root.

Hope this helps!
