Passion Flower is a vigorous climbing vine with large lobed foliage that is semi-evergreen in warmer climates.  The unusual purple and white flowers are white with disk of filaments and tentacle-like projections bloom from late spring to mid summer.  Following the flowers are egg-sized fruits that make a popping sound when stepped on.  Grows best with support in full sun and well-drained soils.  Humidity tolerant but very flammable.

Passiflora incarnata is a host for several species: Gulf Fritillary, Variegated Fritillary, and Zebra Heliconian.  The flowers attract many pollinators and the fruits bring in songbirds and small mammals.
