The Passion Flower is a great plant. It has 3” diameter, unique, and beautiful flowers that start to bloom in July and continue until frost. The vines can easily grow up to 15 feet in a season. The fruit produced by this plant is an oval berry, a little smaller than a kiwi fruit. The fruit of Passiflora incarnata is edible, but pretty seedy. Passion Flowers were named by missionaries in the early 1500s. They believed that the petals, rays, and sepals, symbolized features of the crucifixion of Christ.
