Grow Instructions:
For successful growth, plant your Krishna Kamal Passion Flower in well-draining soil and provide it with a sturdy support structure, such as a trellis or arbor, as it is a climbing vine.

Fertilize sparingly with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during the growing season to promote lush foliage and blooms.
