Description

Don't be fooled by the otherworldly blooms - Passiflora incarnata Passionflower is actually native to the southeastern United States. A prolific blooming vine, its pale lavender and purple flowers are a delight to pollinators all summer long.

Though it is native, Passiflora incarnata Passionflower is a vigorous grower and should be sited with that in mind. It can be planted in a large container to control its spread. It prefers fertile, well-draining soil but can also tolerate clay and poor soils.

Passiflora is also the larval host of the Gulf Fritillary Butterfly, which is native to the very southern US states.

We ship via UPS & USPS (the Post Office), and their ship rates are automatically generated through our site. We do not profit on shipping costs. We are working with these providers to get our customers the best rates possible.

All ship times are subject to change if extreme weather conditions are present here at the nursery or at the shipping destination.

Please note: Depending on the time of year, the foliage of the plants may be trimmed to fit into our shipping boxes. This could delay the flowering of the plant, but many perennials actually benefit from being cut back.

We are currently not able to ship to Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and outside of the US.
