🌿 Ships well rooted in 3.5 x 9 inch deep pot. Well established root system and ready to plant!

Bring a bit of botanical drama to your garden with this native Southeastern vine! Passiflora incarnata, also called Maypop, is a fast-growing perennial vine that produces fragrant, intricate flowers loved by butterflies—especially the Gulf Fritillary and Zebra Longwing. In late summer to fall, it bears egg-sized edible fruit with a tropical sweet flavor.

This is a hardy native species, not a tropical passionfruit. It dies back to the ground in winter and returns with vigor in spring.
