| Hi,
What is the most fragrant passion flower and are they worth growing for fragrance alone?
Thanks.

| Well, it's hard to how you could grow passionflowers and ignore their color and fantastic form -- but from a friend who grows over 100 varieties, mooreana is the most fragrant, with a heavy, gardenia scent.Helleri is reputed to have a very strong honey fragrance, but it only blooms in winter. I'd say fragrance is a good reason to grow alata-caerulea, and many of the larger species (alata, phoeneciana, quadrangularis, triloba, etc.) and their hybrids are very fragrant. Have you posted over on the passie forum to see what they say? |

| Incense is my most fragrant, though incarnata is a close second (and since it blooms more freely it frequently overtakes Incense) ~Chills |

| Can you really notice a fragrance permeating the air - or do you have to sink your nose into the flower to sniff a "somewhat" aroma. I want real fragrance that I can sniff when I walk out the door. If not that smelly - I'll plant some other vine. I am counting on your noses performing as I don't want a ho-hum fragrance. |
