Lady Margaret Red Passionflower Espalier

A show-stopping hybrid vine that brings a tropical, high-energy flair to the landscape with its brilliant raspberry-red blooms and contrasting white centers. Reaching a more manageable 10 to 15 feet, this fast grower is perfect for those who want the exotic look of a passionflower but with a slightly "tamer" growth habit than its cousins. The intricate 3-to-4 inch flowers are highly attractive to butterflies and bloom prolifically from summer through the first frost.

• Fast-growing evergreen climber (semi-evergreen in North Texas)
• Vibrant raspberry-red blooms with a striking white corona
• Compact vigor makes it ideal for fences, trellises, or large patio containers
• Butterfly magnet for Gulf Fritillaries and other local pollinators
• Glossy, three-lobed foliage provides a lush, dense screen

Plant in full sun to partial shade for the best bloom production. While it loves the Texas heat, it is slightly less cold-hardy than the 'Incense' variety. In North Texas (Zone 8), it should be treated as a root-hardy perennial—it may die back to the ground during a hard freeze but will typically return with a vengeance once the soil warms up in the spring.
