Gee, I'd like to know too! lol

Sorry being an ozzy if I could have only one it has to be a Nelly Kelly because although the flower isn't the prettiest it is delicious to eat and we like to eat our passionfruit here... sadly to the extent that the wonderful ornamentals don't exist here......everything is about eating them .......can anyone recommend a national supplier of exotic seeds as we don't have the pretty ones....only alata and one or two granadillas.

Hmm. Can't do it, sorry..too many to love for different reasons.

I love Triloba for the wicked looking flowers
I love LAdy MArgaret as she is my bushiest passiflora
I love Elizabeth and Monika Fischer for their awesome fragrance
I love LAvendar LAdy as my Frittilaries love her the most

...I could go on for days

I was hoping somebody could pick one...that's all I could grow!!! They aren't hardy here, so it would have to winter in the house.....

Port Saint Lucie, FL(Zone 9b)

Hmm let me find a hardy one for you...
I only found:
lady margaret was okay in 26 degrees
P. violacea hardy to 32*F

Looks like you are housing them to keep them alive and back out in the yard in the spring after the freeze.
