You are bidding on about 15 PURPLE PASSION FLOWER VINE SEEDS - ( Passiflora incarnata ). Commonly known as maypop, true passionflower, wild apricot, and wild passion vine, is a fast-growing perennial vine with climbing or trailing stems . These can become invasive . Although Passion flowers are considered hardy in USDA zones 5-9, they should be planted in a protected location and mulched heavily if severe cold threatens. The top growth is killed back by frost, but 'pops' back to life in the Spring. Passion flowers are easy to grow. They need partial to full sun, and will adapt themselves to most well-drained soils. During the growing season, the soil should be kept evenly moist, to ensure good flowering and growth. Apply a balanced (10-5-20) fertilizer in the early spring, and then again six to eight weeks later. These should be planted in early spring. They will benefit by the addition of compost to the planting hole. They begin blooming in July and continue until frost. These 3 inch diameter flowers are very unique and beautiful being flesh-colored or yellowish, sweet-scented flowers, tinged with purple. The fruit produced by this plant is an oval berry, a little larger than a chicken egg , green -colored many-seeded berry is about the size of a small apple; when dried, it is shriveled and greenish-yellow. The yellow pulp is sweet and edible. The vines can easily grow up to 15 feet in a season. Grow it on a fence or trellis, or simply allow it to scramble over your shrubs and trees. Passion fruit is edible, but seedy. It can be used to make jelly, but its best usage may come from being a food source for several species of butterfly and their larvae.
