Passiflora incarnata
When to plant purple passionflower
Purple passionflower (maypop) is a rapid native vine that climbs by tendrils and bears intricate purple-and-white flowers in summer (NC State: May to July), followed by edible maypop fruits from July to October. Plant in spring in well-drained soil; in cold-winter areas it dies to the ground and resprouts, and it spreads by root suckers.
Purple Passionflower is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
