Purple Passion Vine

A fast-growing, evergreen vine, Passiflora edulis, commonly known as Purple Passion Vine or Passionfruit Vine, is prized for its exotic, fragrant flowers and delicious, edible fruit. This vigorous climber is ideal for trellises, fences, and pergolas, providing lush greenery, stunning blooms, and sweet-tart passionfruit that ripen in late summer to fall. It is highly drought-tolerant once established and attracts pollinators, making it a great choice for edible and ornamental gardens.
