I bought a few passiflora incarnata vines from Logees 7 years ago and now a good area of my property is covered with them and yes they do spread into your lawn but the good thing is the unwanted shoots easily come out of the ground when pulled. Not to mention it's a beautiful vine with lots of benefits so I don't mind it's invasiveness!!! I live in NJ at the shore.
I planted a seed and have one growing in a pot in my backyard in the Prescott, Az. area! I was extremely happy when i saw it sprout. It's about 6 inches tall now. Grew pretty fast. My parents had one in Colorado in Cedaredge years ago and it was beautiful.
I know this is a bit older, but thank you for such an informational video on Maypop. I'm growing it here in my yard in FL, and it's getting a lot of fruit. I'm eager to try them.
My neighbor planted this on the fence connecting our yards a few years ago and recently it has popped up in multiple spots around both our yards, and even one in my flower garden! Very cool flower
All your videos are just awesome Byron. I enjoy watching each of them. You always give great trustful information ! Before buying any plant, I always look if you already made a video of its care. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience and happy growing ! Greeting from France ...
Passion flower is one of my favorite herbs. I've never seen it except for growing on Vines along the ground I've never seen it at a man's height thanks for the video
Very very helpful. I was wondering about overwintering in pots or in the ground. It makes total sense that this native would survive dormancy in the ground.
I'm 68 years old and I have never seen this plant. I found one growing behind an apartment I worked on. The flower was unreal. So beautiful and delicate with an awesome aroma to it. I brought home some cuttings and some of the fruit. Going to try growing some. Can I put a blocker (a sheet of plastic) around the roots to keep them from spreading?
I did a video on maypop that I grow. The fruits are so yummy. I've never seen the white maypop like you have on your website before. Really great looking.
Ok, so what if I were to put it in an open bottom container filled with local topsoil?( North Houston, btw) That way there's contact with the soil below and hopefully enough communication with the local microbiome and fungal web to keep the good stuff alive in the container soil. Do you think that would stave off a lot of those dormant period root diseases? If so, how tall would the container have to be? Do they send a taproot which can potentially shoot or pretty much strictly rely on near surface horizontal sprawl? Great video btw. Well spoken and not filled with 10 minutes of fluff like a lot of youtubers I see.
In the Houston area an open bottomed container should work for the maypop. They don’t have a tap root but grow from horizontal roots that spread. One issue in your area is the plant will grow out of the pot and most likely spread to surrounding areas.
Hi , thank you for the informative video!!!!!!! I found a plant looks like may pop in my yard last summer. And this year I found the same looking plants in my garden. Are they native to Kentucky?
Do you have any suggestions to grow the vine indoors over winter? I have beautiful flowering and fruiting vines I train in my CT backyard, and I rooted some vines that popped up elsewhere by placing the ends in my rain barrel. I'd like to pot those up and grow indoors before fall kills them off. Only video I found on this is a guy in Chicago, so your insight and expertise would be appreciated.
Hi, I'm in they uk and I have recently bought what the local grocery store classify as 'purple haze passiflora' and I have many questions lol. I'm hoping to grow this one inside and let it spread in my living room that is filled with sunshine all the time. Some people say that it grows passion fruit? If thats correct would you fill me in in how would I keep it indoors?
I have one I purchased from you last year! I did however, plant it in a pot & kept it in a greenhouse over the winter. It's alive but not thriving. Should I cut it down & plant it outside now? Thanks for any advice!
Maypop is hardy to zone 5, so as long as you are zone 5 or higher, planting it outside would be a great idea. They will go dormant at the end of the season but with support will thrive all season long and produce blooms. At the end of the season, they will produce fruit. You don't need to cut it back to plant it. Just put it in the ground. If you want to increase your zone (e.g., to zone 4), you can put up against a house or a wall for protection.
Awesome! I just bought one today only I didn't realize the flowers are red 😁 so I guess my question is, do the red passion flower vine produce fruit too or is it just the Maypop?? 😮
The red passion flower. Passiflora miniata will fruit but needs cross pollination. It is sold commercially as an edible fruitin some parts of South America.
The go dormant in the winter and die back to the ground. It's important to mulch them over through the winter to protect the root system from freezing.
I just bought my wife blue passiflora. I live in PA so would it be safe to say that I can keep it in a pot on my porch and have it grow back every summer without having to move it because of the weather?
It is best to grow the Hardy Maypop in the ground, or if in a pot, you should take it inside. The roots need to be underground. You'll get the best results growing it in full sun near a wall or a climbing structure and it will die back in the fall and re-sprout in the spring. They tend to run and can take over a wall quite easily, but make such a beautiful display.
We were, at one point, carrying both maypop varieties, however, the white one is now out for the season. It can, however, be found here: www.logees.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=maypop You can try looking for this item on a website, davesgarden.com. They may be able to recommend someone who currently carries this item for sale.
It may depend on location, but I only have one vine, this one, and it has fruited every year after the first year I planted it. I am in Texas so maybe the weather has something to do with it. It does die back completely every winter here also.

You are lucky!!
Tried it’s so good make a lemonade with the fruit
I ordered these a few years ago and it is thriving in Delaware. Absolutely beautiful

Greeting from France ...
I am so lucky to have mine growing in our cracked cement that has been producing fruits year after year!
I’ve kept these at my previous home. Fast growers and great blooms. Awesome vine 👍🏼
I love this plant it is the first time I have been able to grow it and it is delightful.
Passion flower is one of my favorite herbs. I've never seen it except for growing on Vines along the ground I've never seen it at a man's height thanks for the video
They are growing wild on
My fence line. So incredibly beautiful and crazy looking
This is super helpful, I bought some may pop at your nursery and I've been curious about pruning.

Beautiful amazing flowers.
I have these growing naturally where I live in Florida
I just planted this vine. Thanks, Byron.

This is a good choice for Honeybee farmers growing a Nectar Garden in a partially wild landscape. I will add it to Honeybee Gardening playlist.
Beautiful flower...
The gulf fritillary or passion butterfly likes to lay its eggs on this plant.
I’ve seen them eating away at the leaves
Great Video. I just Bought some seeds. Thank You.

Woe is me. I wish someone at the nursery had told me not to plant it in the ground. The following year it popped up everywhere.

Thank you so much
What state are you in? Im in Indiana i have 2 i want to know will mine flourish like this
We are located in Connecticut.
So I could grow this in zone 4-5 outside without any problems?
These plants are good outdoors in zones 5-10.
I've heard of people growing them in zone 4 and just mulching with straw in the winter. Then in the late spring they poke right through the straw! :)
I do that with my calla lillies and they do come back every year. When I don't mulch they don't come back.
I am in zone 5a
Is this a perennial in Wisconsin?
This plant is a perennial down to a hardiness zone of 5.
THANK YOU! :))
😊😊😊
how do we get two dfferent strains for maypop? i would love to grow for the fruit.

@@tickledpink6684 Probably because there are enough wild plants for pollination in the area where you live
