Supply as an alternative for the ornamental plant market, whether for cultivation in pots or for the gardens, on walls and pergolas, as well as for parks and butterfly gardens. It produces a large quantity of approximately 12cm-wide flowers , containing greenish bracts, red petals and sepals on white bases with a width of 1.4 cm, a corona with 6 cm in diameter that includes a white nectariferous chamber ring, and white elongated fimbriae (2.5 cm long). The flowers have pink stigmas and styles, and green ovaries, fillets and anthers. It blooms continuously throughout the year, with different flowering peaks in the conditions of the Federal District. It has great vigor and has shown resistance to the main passion fruit diseases, especially those caused by root pathogens. The production of seedlings is done by vegetative propagation through cuttings and, for this reason, the cultivar does not produce fruits under natural conditions because it is self-incompatible. The seedlings begin to bloom at 40 days. Its main application is the landscaping of large areas such as fences, walls, and pergolas.
