Add Your Opinion About This Plant
In my area, this Passiflora is a larval host for about 12 different species of butterflies. It has the added attraction of producing the most wonderful fruits. Passiflora edulis produces small purple fruits and also has a variety that produces much larger yellow fruits. I have always had the yellow fruit variety and it is my all time favorite fruit...hands down. The flowers have a heady sweet and spicy fragrance. In my USDA zone 11 garden, this vine is one exuberant grower and would cover the entire neighborhood if given the chance. It will grow 4 feet deep and to the moon and back. It makes Jack's beanstalk look like a seedling.
