wispfox, I would agree that it might be too early for P. incarnata in many places. More importantly, you should be aware that not all strains of P. incarnata are equally hardy. It grows naturally from Florida to Southern Ohio, if I remember correctly, and the hardiness of a strain reflects its origin. The simplest solution is to get a sucker from someone who has been growing it in zone 6. It's not a plant I grow. I would recommend checking on the Passiflora forum for a zone 6 source. The forum is a bit sleepy lately, but it's still probably worth trying. I would recommend posting in the general discussion section, as the question of P. incarnata hardiness is an important one that should be raised periodically. Good luck. Here is a link that might be useful: Previous Passiflora forum post seeking a zone 5 plant

Please help iam wanting any purple passion flower seeds, I need them for a memorial garden, I have white moon flower, the small purple datura, soapwart seeds, to trade or will pay postage, thanks

I would love to have either cuttings or preferably a rooted start of any variegated version of the Gynura, Velvet or Purple Passion plant!! Also would love to have a start of Swedish Ivy (cutting fine but would prefer small rooted cutting). Thank you SO much! Please check my trade list to see what may intrigue you.

Hi Crystal, I started some from seed this year with great success... You might try it. I shipped one earlier for a trade and it did not ship to well... :o)
