Passion Flower Plants (Passiflora)

Also known as the Passion Flower, the structure of the Passiflora is unusual and made up of petals, sepals and stamens against a backdrop of a colorful corona. The most famous hardy Passion Flower is Maypop (Passiflora incarnata). Native to New England, this fragrant Passiflora variety can produce fruit if cross-pollinated with another hardy passion flower. Other popular Passiflora varieties include Passion Flower 'Clear Sky' (Passiflora caerulea) and Passiflora edulis. Grow in full sun and let the plant vine up a trellis or structure for best blooming results.
