- I LOVE purple passionvine! Yes, it's wild, but that's why you're here, isn't it? Here at A Wild Approach, we try to create beautiful gardens, but we also do that with native plants and native wildlife in mind. I started this garden, because I was really missing seeing butterflies around me. Growing up, I was surrounded by butterflies all the season long, but here in the city, I just had a boring old lawn with a couple invasive shrubs. I didn't see a creature in sight, except maybe an overpopulation of boxelder bugs ahaha!! So, I researched how to attract butterflies and discovered the importance of HOST PLANTS. If you're not aware, butterflies have several life stages. One of those stages is a caterpillar. Caterpillars eat leaves of very specific plants. There can be overlap, but each species of butterfly has a specific plant or group of plants that their caterpillars can eat. They can't eat any leaves that don't belong to those plants or plant groups. Passiflora incarnata is a host plant for the gulf fritillary butterfly here in east Tennessee, and I want to take you on a journey here with me and show you why this plant is so wonderful, and why I love it regardless of it's very WILD nature.

Hey you can make passion fruit juice. You can add a few to a jug of water and stir after strain add sugar 🎉
Great tips! Thank you! :) I was wondering the best way to use it.
Great tutorial. I'm adding purple passion to the side yard just for it's tendency 2 pop up everywhere!
Thanks for the detail, it makes a huge difference!
You're welcome! Thanks for taking time to leave that comment. Happy gardening to you, in your side yard!
Really great video. Excited about my new vine!
Yay! I'm so glad you like it and congratulations on your vine! I've been seeing the gulf fritillaries flying around again this year, and I always get so excited to see them. :)
I've been only searching videos as Maypop so I guess I need to add Purple Passion to my search. If it wasn't for the word Native I would have passed this video by. Thanks.
Oh I totally understand! I recently saw a plant that has the same name of "purple passionvine" and if I would have known that, I would have differentiated better in the thumbnail. Thank you so much for watching!
I love it, this is my 3rd year with passion vine ❤
Oh yes, it gets better every year, imo, the passion flower vine. :) Thank you for watching and commenting.
I live in 9A in Florida and have this plant all over the 12 acre sand hill that we just bought. It being an old orchard that suffered from Greening, it now has not one tree on the property meaning no shade at all. I do have a 10' x 20' carport hoop that the wind will not let me keep a cover on so I've decided to wire it off and let this vine completely cover it on top and all sides. I think it will make a great green house.
Interesting application! Thanks for sharing that idea with us.
Thanks for providing wildflowers for butterflies, and birds. I try to plant a lot flowers for pollinators and last year I have seen so many different bees it was amazing. Today I got some seeds for passionflowers, I love the flowers so much. I tried to plant it before but I did not have very much luck with it. Your garden is absolutely beautiful.
Thank you so much for watching! Your seeds may need a period of cold moist stratification. Probably 60 days at least of this cold moist stratification.
Great video! So easy to understand..thank u! I love this flower!! Loved all the information....
Thank you so much! Glad it was useful. Happy gardening!😊
Great vid.
Thank you!❤
Great content. Happy to find your channel. I have been transitioning to natives the last couple of years, and passion vine is planned for Spring! I am in Maryville.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! And thank you for adding native plants to your garden, so the wildlife can benefit.
I am in Oklahoma and I planted this in a pot in the geothermal greenhouse. I am blown away it’s flourishing very well. I am finding out it spreads. I have some other starts coming up in many places very true. I like it but need to trim it down because it grows year round in the greenhouse. I will plant some of the new starts in pots in the garden. I am all about butterflies and on the farm providing a nice habitat for all the beautiful pollinators. I love the smell of the flowers. And it is a beautiful flower. Have a blessed day. Wendy🙏🏻🇺🇸🌎
Thanks for your lovely comment and I hope you have a wonderful day, too!
I have passion vine too I get more zebra long wings laying there eggs on it
I'm in Tennessee, so the zebra long wings are not really up here where I live. I think they are more along the southern coast of the united states. Maybe in North Carolina near the coast as well. Very cool butterfly, though. www.butterfliesandmoths.org/species/Heliconius-charithonia
Excellent very seldom to see/hear in depth infos about those topics and condensed in one video. This was much work for you to gather those informations. I am considering to grow this vine in my fully sunny south garden in Germany. Last year it was very hot here without rain in the summer. I will maybe therefore install a manual self watering system with a 5liter bottle or two 5liter bottler and a ver big 50liter pot to plant passiflora incarnata in there. Here in Germany there is also a man made hybridised passiflora creation named ,,Eia Popeia" its a mixture betweend passiflora incarnata and 1 or 2 other types. Which is adapted more to the shorter summer period in Germany/Europe.
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing!
Passion vines grow great out here in the West with some watering, it's well worth it with the beautiful butterflies.
Thanks so much for watching and leaving a kind comment. Happy Friday!
Beautiful presentation. I have been wanting a PV for months now. I will go out tomorrow and buy one. I am a native gardener also on the east coast of central Florida. I love the wild look.
Sounds great! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Mine is just now getting very lush here in August. Every year, it seems August and September are the best months for it here in my area. 😄
Yes dear your right , It looks cool , and grows like crazy ; which , like yourself doesn’t really bother me that much ; Except to try and keep it out of our Asparagus plants😅… I have had neighbors in the past ask me , “WHAT R THOSE REALLY WEIRD LOOKING FLOWERS ?“ when they happen to walk by the place ⁉️ I have been growing the stuff for several years , and I even pick and eat the inside of the fruit ; and unlike some silly Ditzz I watched some time ago who didn’t think they tasted very good at all , I LOVE these things , THEY R tasty when I pop open the MAYPOP’s and simply suck out the gooey stuff inside that surrounds the seeds , and sort of try to suck it off of the seeds ( which IS kind of a chore ) but it can be done… ACTUALLY, I USUALLY just take the seeds with it and swallow them… DONE IT FOR ALONG TIME 😊‼️ So don’t let some of those BONE HEADS out there tell you that you can’t or shouldn’t do it , ( Tell’em their a pussy & to go SUCK AN EGG ) ; I am 74 , & those things R very tasty, and I ate my first one several years ago ✋😛🤚… JUST this PAST year I have begun to dig some of them up ( down to the Horizontal root ) in certain areas , and I am beginning to transplant some farther away from my ASPARAGUS AREA , AND planting them by a new arbor I made in the middle of my garden area … I will know this Spring ( 2024 ) if they R going to make it… LATER , GATOR from OZ🌻, ✌️ 😁 👍
The flowers are so unique. I love them. Happy gardening, and thanks for commenting! 😄 I, too, can't wait to see how my plants do this coming spring.
i like munching the seed and pulp together like pomegranate.
do you like sneezeweeds? sneezeweeds are my favorite butterfly flowers along with my buckwheats.
I don't have sneezeweeds planted yet, but I may have some seeds of them in my stash. Maybe. Either way, thank you for bringing that up, because I wasn't aware how much butterflies love it. So, I'll definitely keep it in back of mind.
It's called Maypop because of the sound the Seed pod makes when you squeeze them hard. They go Pop..😊
I love that! Haha thank you for watching!
It's a host for the zebra long wing butterflies too I have tons of them in my garden
I didn't include it because it is not native to my area here in East Tennessee. But those butterflies are gorgeous!! Maybe with climate changes they will eventually fly up here, too. Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed your video. Waiting for my vine to flower 😆
Mine will not even pop out of the ground until probably June. :) It's a late one around here. Happy Gardening!
Beautiful ❤
Thank you!🙂
These butterfly visit my garden, they like my orange Mexican Sunflower. I don't have maypop, so there must be some close by. I'm in Texas, I'll put this plant on my list. I garden in containers so hopefully that will keep it contained.
Sounds like a great plan! Yes, I love Mexican Sunflower as an annual that attracts the butterflies. :)
Thanks for the work you put into this video!
I’m having a hard time getting an answer to my question, I hope you will know. Do you need more than one maypop in order for them to fruit?
Oh I see why you’re having a hard time finding that info! I went to look it up and there are conflicting reports out there…
I think you only need one vine, but I also think mine didn’t fruit until the second year. I can’t quite remember for certain. Note, though, that it’s best to grow it in its native range. You may not get fruits if it’s not native where you plant it. In my garden, the number one insect that pollinates it is the carpenter bee. These bees could be vital for the fruit set on them, but I’m not 100% certain. I can tell you this: 9/10 times I see carpenter bees specifically pollinating them at my house. And I get loads of fruits!!! Check the native range before planting, if you want fruit.
Unfortunately lots of folks trap and kill these important carpenter bees. They do not like that they put small holes in unfinished wood. If you keep your wood painted or sealed properly, it should not be an issue. They don’t like wood that’s been painted as much as raw wood. Leave stumps around for them to use, if possible. Encourage them instead of killing them, and you may be rewarded with lots of fruit.
I started out with one plant, but between its fruits setting seeds and the underground runners, I have countless passion vines now. Passiflora incarnata.❤
We definitely love our bees and plant special things just for them! I think this will work well because we see a lot of carpenters among honeybees. Thanks for you response and help!
@@kayleighjohnson3612 You're very welcome! :) They also love full sun and well drained soil.
I avoid aggressive vines (I’m chicken 😄), but I do have a coral honeysuckle like the one you showed at the end.
Coral Honeysuckle is very well behaved and I treasure it dearly! It also leafs out early and blooms early, too, compared to the passionvine. But the passionvine is a host to the fritillaries, and I love those so much. They love the vine. I enjoy having both in the garden, for sure, but I also love the wild garden. I do not like formal much.
Awesome. If you want to share this vine with somebody, how is it done? Can you cut a branch or does it have to be pulled from the root? I tried to find the root of one in the wild forest and it just went on for like miles under the dirt lol.
Collecting seed is best. Wait for fruit to be overripe. Make sure you follow your local laws and rules for seed collecting. It can vary from area to area. Or find a native plant nursery near you and ask if they carry it.
In Latin America passion fruit are mostly use as a cold drink.
Thank you for sharing that information! Very interesting. I bet it's delicious that way.☺
Just planted a blue passion vine and gold flame honeysuckle a few days ago, replaced a dead bougainvillea and star Jasmine that didn’t make it over the winter
I'm not familiar with the gold flame honeysuckle, but the rest sounds great! :) Hope you're having a great weekend!
How are hard the runners to remove if they pop up where you don't want them?
I find them very easy to pull up. However, there will be many of them. If they pop up in the lawn, we just mow those.
I love passion fruit right out of the pod. Slurp it down.
This vine does very well in a pot and will not spread.
Thank you so much for your info! 😃
Just make juice with it…its great for vitamin c
Thanks for the tip!😊
They are also a beneficiary herb .
Thank you! I've been reading a little here and there about that. Very good additional reason to plant it. 😄
My passion fruit flowers are always aborting unless I pollinate by hand,i.e taking pollen from one flower to another.wat would be the cause
I’m not sure. Here in Tennessee, they are often pollinated by carpenter bees. Do you have carpenter bees where you live? My understanding is they co-evolved.
How long did it take yours to fruit mine Is two years old and flowering but no fruit? I just started to hand pollinate we shall see .
@@misterbeeman3779 I don't know if you're asking me or if you're asking the commenter above, but mine didn't fruit very much the first year. But every year after that, mine fruit a lot. Here in east Tennessee, USA, there are lots of carpenter bees. The carpenter bees are one of the best pollinators for this plant here. It might be a little more difficult if you don't have those natural pollinators where you live, but let me know how the hand pollinating goes. I'm interested in hearing about it. I do not have to do that here simply because I have so many carpenter bees. They co-evolved, is my understanding from the research I've done on this plant. Happy gardening and I hope you have lots of success!🙂
Did your passionflower come back in your shady spot this year?
Not yet, but almost none have popped up just yet. I keep checking for them all, and maybe it's too soon. I really hope that crazy December freeze didn't kill them all. 🤔
@@awildapproach we got a hard Polar Vortex freeze here in central Texas and it killed most of mine. Lost Passiflora ‘Incense’ and, ironically, P. ‘Snow Queen.’ Well, if yours come back, it’s probably a good follow-up video. 😅
@@mickcharlesbeaver4331 Great idea! Sorry you lost yours. That stinks! The good news is that they are pretty prolific even when starting over from seed! At least my passiflora incarnata is. Thanks for your input. 🙂 Now I just need to keep that in mind. I was looking back at my garden journal and it says that in 2022, it was June 30th by the time the passiflora incarnata plants looked "fantastic." I really need to get more specific in my garden journal. LOL 😅😂
I am looking to buy this fruit vine plant to have fruits. Were can I buy it
Look for your local Native Plant Rescue, if you have one local to you. Our local Native Plant Rescue Squad rescues native plants from construction sites, with permission from the property owners. Otherwise, the plants would be bulldozed down. You may have a similar group near you. My suggestion is to find plants or seeds of it as close to you as possible. The importance when it comes to native plants is to find the closest source for seeds and plants as well as making sure they do not spray them with insecticides ever. Thanks for watching! Hope this helps!
My passion vine did not survive these caterpillars. It was too invasive and hard to control. I live in Florida.
I garden specifically to attract butterflies, so I do not control caterpillars. All my vines have survived fine with countless caterpillars on them, but mine are planted in the ground and I have many of the vines to go around. The vine itself is aggressive and will spread by underground roots, so usually there should be plenty of it to go around. Is yours in a container? I know some folks grow them in containers to keep the vine from popping up everywhere. Or maybe you just get more of the caterpillars there in Florida than I do up here in Tennessee. One other note, here in Tennessee they die down to the ground in Winter. They don't really start returning until June. In Florida, what's your experience with their growth down there? Do they die back at all over Winter? Or do they stay all year long there? I'm not familiar with Florida Winters. I just know it's a different growing zone. Thanks for sharing your experience! Maybe you need to plant more of the vine so you can share with the pollinators. :)
