The beautiful and healing passion flower
-
Few people cannot appreciate the beauty of the passion flower. Besides being a beautiful flower, this plant also has medicinal properties. However, far fewer people are aware of the medicinal effect. Where does the beautiful passion flower come from, what is the medicinal effect of the passion flower and how do you apply it?
Passion flower, the basis
-
The passion flower or passion flower is a common climbing plant. The plant grows in liana formation with woody stems and belongs to the passion flower family (passifloraceae). More than 500 species are known. The passion flower is native to North America, Central and South America and the Caribbean. In South America you will find them high in the Andes mountains, but also in the humid heat of the tropics. We also find a number of varieties of the passion flower in Oceania and Asia. Originally Australia has only a limited number of passion flower varieties.
The garden plant
-
The original passion flower prefers to live in a warmer climate than the Dutch climate, but the plants have now been cultivated. The cultivated Dutch garden plant has lost its proliferating character in nature. It is now a 'neat' plant that you can grow in the ground against a fence or wire mesh or grow in a pot with a matching climbing frame. The specimens as for sale in the Netherlands, will therefore never proliferate as they do in nature.
