Cuttings of the young shoots strike readily in sandunder glass. The plant likes a good loamy soil mixed with peat. A
sheltered position with a south or south-western aspect should be
assigned those grown out of doors, and the root should be well
protected in winter. The flowers are borne on seasoned growth of the
current year: this fact must be considered when pruning the plants.
During the hot months the roots require a copious supply of water, and
the foliage should be syringed freely. Passiflora Caerulea is fine for
outdoor culture, and Countess Guiglini makes a capital greenhouse
plant.
