Passion Fruit Vine

The purple passion fruit vine (Passiflora edulis f. edulis) is a vigorous, evergreen climbing plant known for its striking flowers and delicious, aromatic fruit. This tropical and subtropical vine can grow rapidly, often reaching lengths of 15 to 20 feet (4.5 to 6 meters) or more in a single growing season. It features glossy, dark green, deeply lobed leaves that provide a lush backdrop to its stunning flowers.

The vine thrives in well-draining, fertile soil with full sun to partial shade. It requires regular watering, particularly during dry periods, and benefits from a trellis or support structure to climb. Pruning helps manage its growth and encourages better fruit production. Hardy in USDA zones 9-11, the purple passion fruit vine can also be grown in containers and moved indoors in cooler climates.
