About

Passiflora lindeniana is the largest free-standing tree species in the subgenus Passiflora subg. Astrophea.

How to grow it

Plants are remarkably slow growing, whether grown in the greenhouse or outdoors.

Greenhouse-grown plants in northern Europe do not tolerate the hot summer temperatures and cold short day-length winters very well, and as a result, do not thrive.

Where it grows

According to Vanderplank, the natural range is "The lower Andes of Venezuela from Merida State in the west to Miranda State above the area Pozo de Rosas in the east and from Sierra San Luıs in Falcon State in the north to Distrito Pedraza on the eastern slopes of the Sierra Nevada de Mérida in Barinas State in the south." It is also recorded as a rare species in Colombia.
