I got into passionvines because I was interested in using native plants to support the wildlife in my own home environment. I do love butterflies. However I now have over 30 kinds of passiflora. I grow for their beauty and interesting qualities.
I have 4 large vines of P. caerulea and P. incense that I provide as food for hundereds of caterpillars.. The rest of my collection is sprayed to prevent them from being stripped of all flowers and leaves. Some of my friends disagree but I have spent too much time and money on these plants not to enjoy them.
