This is one of the only native ‘tropical’ fruits in North America. The only other one I know of is the pawpaw. Please keep it. I’m jealous!

I was blessed to find one of these last year and encourage a start into my garden. I always smile when people say “it can take over…” because if left alone, most plants will. As my garden is used for food, herbal teas and medicinal uses, I have no problem with the issue. It looks fantastic on a trellis gateway and calms the anxiety of the day.

My favorite! Passion Flower!
I always try to plant these when I move to a new home. It doesn’t always work. 😖. I would be thrilled! Enjoy. ❤️

I had one of these volunteer itself in my garden this year! And it’s definitely taking over.

Les fruits sont comestibles mais pas très bon (car pas assez sucrés) s’ils ne sont pas assez au soleil.

They are considered noxious weeds in South Carolina with most people either knowing nothing about them or simply knowing they are good to throw at each other. Few people realize that it will ripen into a pleasant fruit.
The roots of Incarnata will survive US winters.
Because of this Incarnata is the only species of the Passiflora genus that will survive year to year above the U.S. / Mexico border. Other species have to be grown from seed each year.
