Introducing Purple Passion Flower, an exotic-looking native vine with intricate lavender flowers that seem almost otherworldly. This vigorous climber thrives in USDA Hardiness Zones 5-9 and produces stunning blooms throughout summer.

Purple Passion Flower's ability to climb fences, trellises, and arbors makes it excellent for vertical interest in the garden. The complex flowers are followed by edible yellow-green fruits called maypops.

This native vine is the primary host plant for Gulf Fritillary and Zebra Longwing butterflies, making it essential for butterfly gardens in its range.

Fun Fact: Early Christian missionaries saw symbolism of the crucifixion in the flower's structure—the corona representing the crown of thorns, the five stamens the five wounds, and the three stigmas the three nails.

Bring the extraordinary Purple Passion Flower to your garden and enjoy its otherworldly blooms and butterfly activity.
