| Passion Flower Vine - Passiflora incarnata |
|---|
The passion flower is a perennial vine with lacy, twining foliage and large showy flowers. Very hardy, native to eastern U.S. Freezes back to the ground in winter but vigorously grows from the ground annually. Flowers and fruits each season. Flowers are lemon-musk scented. Light green fruits have a tart apricot flavor and can be made into a delicious drink with the unmistakable passion fruit flavor. (re; Hawaiian Punch) Eat whole when they are "fall into your hand" ripe. Leaves can be cooked or eaten raw in salad. Best to plant where it can be contained, because it will come up away from itself. Native Bumble Bee is the best pollinator. Zones 6-8.
