Comments (20)Angie, Passionvine has a habit of popping up all over the place, but the place where you planted it! Actually, you should be seeing suckers soon. I have some up in my yard and I'm in 6B/7A. But, my main plant has yet to come back. It is always later than the little suckers. Prepare yourself for the "passionvine sprawl"! This year I have ordered some new Edulis passionvines from Almost Eden. These are the edible passionfruits. They aren't really hardy here, so I'll grow them in huge pots. When in Laos, I developed a taste for Passionfruit cupcakes, and Passionfruit syrup on pancakes! My kids serve these at the cafe. They make it from fruit they buy in the marketplace. (I miss the marketplace and the fresh fruits available) So . . . I'm going to see what I can do to have my own passionfruit. It's very healthy. I also like Mango syrup. Tastes peachy!! sandy...See Morewild passion vine
Comments (5)Passionvine is easy to grow as long as it's not in a really dry place. It can grow over 20' in one season but dies back to the ground each winter. Can be late to emerge; the one on my back porch railing didn't come up until mid-May last year due to our long cool spring. If you have it in good soil the roots will roam; mine has put up some runners in the raised bed behind my house adjacent to the railing, but the runners are easy to pull up and the vine hasn't been hard to control. The vine produces large fruit, which since they're large and relatively few are easy to remove if you don't want it to seed in more. Passionflower is not a very dense vine so your coral honeysuckle will probably be fine next to it. The flower is described as fragrant but I wouldn't describe the fragrance as good or sweet; strange is more like it. Of course the flowers are very intricately beautiful....See MoreCan a passion vine survive in Portland?
Comments (4)They completely die back in winter but make rapid growth after they begin to send up new sprouts beginning in late spring. The old vines die completely. The cultivar May Pop does well for me even though I'm at a higher elevation than Portland and significantly colder. May Pop was named because it doesn't pop through the earth until May but actually I find that it does not appear until June and then grows very fast....bigger every year. jwww...See Moreaquilachrysaetos
