Family: Passion Flower (Passifloraceae)

Hardy to Zones 6 to 12

(Maypop, Passion Flower, Passion Vine)  Herbaceous or woody vine, native to the southeastern and eastern US. The flowers are wonderfully large, three dimensional, complex, purple and white. The plant prefers full sun, dryish soils and a trellis. The first year or two, while the plant is getting established, you need to keep them watered and weeded. After that, you just provide a place for them to climb. Useful in making seasonal, living shade structures and for landscape/fence adornment. Traditional usage (TWM): sodorific.  Plant prefers full sun and dryish soils, trellis.  These can easily be trained up a sunny wall on the porch to give seasonal shade, and the flower display is a big plus.  Probably the best germination will be achieved by soaking seeds in warm water for 2 days, then nicking with a sharp blade and planting in warm conditions. Germination occurs within 30 days.    However, other methods have long been used, such as giving the seeds a 30 day period of cold, moist refrigeration before planting in warm soil.  Seed sown in the fall sometimes germinates reliably in the spring.  Here’s another trick that sometimes gives fast results:  Soak seeds in a jar of water placed in the bright sun for 2 days and nights up to a week, then plant about 1/2 inch deep in fast-draining mix and keep evenly warm.  Work seedlings up in successively larger pots and plant out to landscape at a spacing of at least 4 feet apart.

    Followed my “hot process” in the questions and got 75% germ in the first 5 days! Expect the rest to come up in the next week or so!

    I planted the seeds in January 2021. 4 germinated, which I was very happy with, seeing as other vendor’s maypops didn’t germinate at all. I planted in May, against my south wall, and the vines started blooming late July. (I have sandy soil, which they seem to love) In August, they were covered with flowers, and little fruits starting forming. Unfortunately, there wasn’t enough time for the fruit to ripen (except 1!), even though the plants were covered in decent sized fruit. This spring, a couple plants came back vigorously, while others less so, and some didn’t make it. It is to be expected, as I live in Zone 5/6 (near London, Ontario) and I didn’t cover the ground during winter. The ones that did make it are thriving, covered in flowers once again, beginning early July. I will have to see if some fruit ripens this fall, but even if so, it is worth to grow just for the beautiful flowers and their scent.

    The vine was beautiful but I had no flowers. Not sure it it doesn’t flower first year? I also had bought some from another vender andonly one plant from all the seeds. I am ordering more today from you! Any suggestions on flowers?
