They often develop deep roots and can be moderately tolerant of dry spells.

Passiflora tarminiana
Passiflora tarminiana
Family: Passifloraceae
Cultivation
Passiflora tarminiana grows well at elevations between 2,000 - 3,000 metres or even more in the tropics, succeeding at lower elevations as it moves away from the Equator. Requires a humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil and a position in dappled shade where it can grow up towards the sun. Passiflora species tend to flower and fruit more freely when grown in soils of only moderate fertility.

Passiflora tetrandra
Family: Passifloraceae
Cultivation
Passiflora tetrandra is not a very cold hardy species, probably able to withstand short periods with temperatures falling to around -8°c, or perhaps a bit lower when it is fully dormant. The rootstock is liable to be a bit more tolerant and, if the top growth does get cut back by the cold, new growth may sprout forth from the roots come late spring. Requires a well-drained soil with plenty of moisture in the growing season, otherwise it is not fussy.

Passiflora tripartita
Passiflora tripartita
Family: Passifloraceae
Cultivation
Passiflora tripartita is a plant of the tropics, usually found at elevations above 2,400 metres. Plants require a temperature no lower than around 16°c when they are flowering in order to ensure fruit set. Plants can tolerate occasional low temperatures down to -5°c.

Passiflora tripartita mollissima
Passiflora tripartita mollissima
Family: Passifloraceae
Cultivation
Passiflora tripartita mollissima prefers a cooler, less humid atmosphere than most other members of the genus, growing well at moderate elevations, generally above 1,000 metres in the tropics, and at lower elevations in the subtropics and warm temperate zones. It grows best in areas where annual daytime temperatures are within the range 15 - 18°c, but can tolerate 8 - 30°c. When dormant, the plant can survive short periods with temperatures down to about -5°c, but young growth can be severely damaged at -2°c.

Passiflora umbilicata
Passiflora umbilicata
Family: Passifloraceae
Cultivation
Passiflora umbilicata succeeds in cooler climates than most members of this genus, growing in warm, essentially frost-free temperate areas as well as the subtropics and at moderate elevations in the tropics. Whilst top growth will be killed back by winter cold in all but the mildest of winters in the temperate zone, the roots - especially if well mulched - will tolerate considerably lower temperatures and can produce new growth in early summer. Plants require a temperature no lower than around 16°c when they are flowering in order to ensure fruit set.

Passiflora × exoniensis
Family: Passifloraceae
Cultivation
Passiflora × exoniensis succeeds in warm, essentially frost-free temperate zones, through the subtropics to moderate elevations in the tropics. The top growth can tolerate temperatures down to about -3°c, though the roots are somewhat hardier and will often resprout if the top growth is killed. Plants require a temperature no lower than around 16°c when they are flowering in order to ensure fruit set.
