Passiflora tucumanensis is a rare South American passionflower vine that produces intricate, exotic blooms and thrives in warm, humid climates or sheltered gardens. Provide a sturdy trellis or support structure and water regularly, keeping the soil moist but well-draining. In cooler climates it can be grown in a large container and overwintered indoors in a bright, frost-free location.
