Very beautiful! I have a few different kinds of passion flower seeds and am going to give them a try growing indoors this fall. Wish me luck!

Good luck, but keep in mind they are very invasive plants!

Thank you! Good to know but I don't have to worry in my climate. It's too cold for them to grow on their own outside. Our local stores sell them as pretty annuals that die every fall.

I've been growing them for two years now, they truly are beautiful, though I havent had any fruit yet. This year I'll try to keep the roots alive over the winter.

So pretty! I didn't know there were native varieties in the US. Does it get fruit?

Yes, they do fruit.
It seems the color of ripe fruit varies between plants. I just try to keep the area under the plants free of weeds. When they are ripe, they fall from the vines.
