The lovely and unique flowers of the Maypop Purple Passionflower are sure to leave an impression. Also known as Passiflora incarnata, this vining perennial blooms from mid-summer until early fall. This plant is a continuous bloomer with each flower only lasting about one day. The flowers have purple filaments that cover broad, flat, lavender petals. The fragrant flowers produce a fruit, known as maypops, that can be eaten from the vine or used in jams and jellies. The flowers are offset by dark green, deeply lobed foliage.
Grow the Maypop Purple Passionflower in beds or borders. This climbing vine needs support, so give it a trellis, arbor, fence, or something it can hold on to. The unique flowers attract butterflies, and birds enjoy the fruit. This tropical-looking vine is a perennial in zones 5 through 9.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
