It’s flowers are not super showy but the fruit is really pretty. I think it’s adorable. I have it in a large pot with a few other plants and it’s been blooming very freely almost since I got it and is already setting fruit. I’m not disappointed at all with it.

This is a small passionflower, which get's at most to 6 feet. Mine is blooming and it's just 2 -3 feet at most in a 1 gallon pot.
Nice little Passion Flower with a pretty little bloom. Best in a pot on a Patio or inside, as out in bigger spaces it may be overlooked.
don't know how to correct the height issue in the Plantfiles but it is wrong.
Wow, people don't seem to have much good to say about this vine. On the other hand, I do! It is an easily grown vine and I find it extrem...Read Moreely beautiful as I do almost all plants. Yes, the flowers are small on this vine but they are intoxicatingly fragrant, at least for me and I love that. The vine will produce fruit as well. I hand pollinate mine and sometimes I like to transfer pollen from one Passiflora species to another, just to see what happens. Hoping to create some funky hybrid I guess. I do specialize in vines and especially Passiflora and Tacsonia so perhaps I am biased towards these plants. I have this vine growing in a southwest facing window and it has climbed all over the drapery and around the window. The flowers are small but intricate and beautiful. Highly fragrant as stated above and also produces fruit which is edible as far as I know. I've eaten it with no ill effects. This plant is easy to propagate by cuttings. I grow this inside but have taken it outside for the summer months and it seems to enjoy this immensely too.
I think mfd's comment above is about Passiflora incarnata. :-)

It has grown leaps and bounds, but I wouldn't use it again. It's now developing fruit that I don't think I'll try to eat and if it's pods I don't care to have seeds.

It can be used as a sleep aid or a seditive, the fruit is ediable The fruit when green is tangy and when rippened it is a delight. The florial is used as a seditive. I am sitting here with one now. It grows very well here along roads and out in fields and pastures in thick vines some growing as tall as a tree their fruits hanging like small green watermellons. When we were children we were told they were May Pops and were poison, now I know why. It was the florial, some people are alergic to it and as I said befor it is a sleep aid and seditive used in to big a dose it can make you very ill, vomiting, spontanious sleeping, head ache. It grows here from early spring till late autume flowering and produceing fruit all summer long. A very productive plant.
