    It is a Passiflora species (passion flower). They like good drainage. Make sure it is in light soil and water well when the soil is dry an inch deep.

    Looks like Passiflora xbelotii. I overwinter mine in the garage under flourescent grow lights and keep the watering to a minimum. The temp suold be around 5 degrees C. no lower.

    Note that's correctly Passiflora × belotii (i.e., a hybrid symbol, not a word beginning with 'xb')
