Where Can I Buy?

16 years ago

I would like to plant passiflora. My understanding is the Passiflora mixta is a species native to Andean regions of Colombia at my altitude of 7000Â´. I also understand that here in Colombia it is pollinated by the Sword-billed hummingbird and that is who I wish to attract. A greenhouse owner here said he could get me some but never came through. Is there any source in the US from which I could order seed of that species online so I could bring them back with me when I return my spring trip north? I read with interest the post below on germanating from seed.

I would contact the JosÃ© Celestino Mutis Botanical Garden in BogotÃ¡ for advice. http://www.jbb.gov.co/web/index.php. Apparently it features greenhouses in which plants from every Colombian region, altitude, and climate are exhibited. The plant may even be growing wild very near to you.

Here is a link that might be useful: Passiflora mixta

Mauro Piexoto has quite a list of seeds- He's in Brazil.
He may even know of a local source for you.
